A respected British food processing equipment manufacturer has bolstered its engineering department with the appointment of an experienced technical and project management specialist. Fabcon Food Systems, which manufactures and installs handling and processing equipment for the snacks sector, has appointed Bobby White as Technical Manager as part of their new Technical Support department which also includes existing staff and a new Sales Engineer. A respected technical expert, Bobby joins Fabcon after an 18-month consultancy role which saw him successfully leading on a major project and innovative product launch for a large UK based snacks producer. With almost 40 years’ engineering and management experience in the food processing sector, Bobby brings a range of technical and project management expertise to the Fabcon sales and technical support team and its global client base. Trevor Howard, Managing Director of Fabcon Food Systems said: “Bobby is a big appointment for us given his design and processing credentials and experience working with a range of manufacturing systems. “He is well known in the industry and joins us during our continued growth across a number of continents as more manufacturers look to British-built systems for their factories. “To continue that growth we need first-rate technical experts and Bobby is already proving to be a tremendous support to all our customers and internally across our teams. I am delighted to welcome him to Fabcon.” Bobby White added: “Fabcon is a business which is widely respected across the industry and I like that it has a huge potential for further global growth. “I have many years of experience working with companies in the sector, helping them to grow and develop. That will be a key part of my role here at Fabcon, also offering the technical support our sales team need and being the link with our engineering department. “Alongside Trevor and the team, I look forward to contributing to the success of Fabcon in the months and years ahead.” Fabcon Food Systems design, manufacture and install handling and processing equipment for the food industry – including frying, distribution and seasoning systems, all built at the company’s factory and design hub in Norwich.
