Kernic Systems appoints US sales director

Burlington, Ontario-based Kernic Systems Inc. has announced that Bob Koch has joined the company as sales director for the U.S. market.

Kernic Systems is global designer, integrator and installer of complete systems, including air conveying and dust collection systems, baling and shredding systems, recycling equipment and industrial vacuums.

Koch brings 15 years’ experience in recycling machinery sales, including a full range of baling presses, shredders, material recovery facility (MRF) sort lines and supporting equipment, most recently working with Ohio Baler Co.

“I have known Bob for several years, competing against him and working with him on joint projects,” says John Jurk, vice president of Kernic Systems. “His skill and professional approach complement those we have built Kernic’s growth on. Bob also brings a specialized skill set in the used equipment business. We’re thrilled to welcome him to our company.”

Kernic Systems says Koch will begin by focusing on the Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania markets. As he develops his experience with Kernic’s systems and capabilities, his territory will expand.

He will be supported by the company’s engineering department, installation team and service group.

“Kernic has been in a steady growth pattern,” Koch says. “I look forward to contributing to and accelerating that in the months and years ahead.”
