Mansonville, QC - August 8, 2011 - (www.nexkemia.com) NexKemia Petrochemical, Inc’s CEO, Maurice Barakat is pleased to announce the leadership change of Robert York as U.S. Sales Manager for Nexkemia. York’s transition from Cryopak, another TCP subsidiary, to Nexkemia was official as of August 1st, 2011.
This leadership change was a result of NexKemia’s desire to expand further into and to better serve its U.S. market.
“Bob’s previous experience with EPS and thermal packaging made him the ideal candidate for the U.S. Sales Management position at NexKemia,” Barakat said.
Bob York is NexKemia’s first US sales associate and his initial goals revolve around growth within current US accounts as well as to develop new business in the Upper Great Lakes and East Coast regions.
York’s experience with EPS and thermal packaging started with his sales position at Eastern Seaboard Packaging from 1996 - 2001. Eastern Seaboard Packaging was a packaging distributor and York was responsible for the perishable packaging group for the New England area. He later made the move to Cold Pack System as the Director of Sales for a product called AirLiner, an inflatable thermal insulating packaging product. In 2007, York joined the Cryopak team as the Business Development Manager and has now made the strategic leadership change to Nexkemia.
“I am very excited to be a part of the NexKemia team,” York said. “NexKemia is a fairly new enterprise but is developing a solid reputation for reliability and new product development within the EPS shape and block molding industries and I am excited to act as a resource for EPS manufacturers throughout the United States.”
“We are very impressed with Bob’s ability to manage multiple accounts while keeping up a superior level of customer service,” Barakat said. “We are very excited about the opportunities with his leadership move to U.S. Sales Manager for Nexkemia.”
