North American parts distributor Marcone Commercial Kitchen has announced the addition of two experienced professionals, both intended to continue increasing the company’s market presence among service technicians.

Chris Rudin was appointed Vice President of National Accounts, a role in which he will focus on driving national account business across various foodservice equipment channels. Rudin brings more than six years of industry experience, most recently as a vice president for Star Holdings Group, a division of the Middleby Corporation. He joins Scott K. Hoffmann, who started in that role last year, with a focus on national account management.

At the same time, Marcone Commercial Kitchen launched an Inside Sales division with the addition of Sarah Gibson. As Inside Sales Representative, she will support service companies and technicians by providing the parts they need quickly and easily. She brings a decade of industry experience to the position, having previously worked for both service repair and parts distribution companies.

 “Our team is growing, both in size and depth, through the addition of talented and experienced professionals such as Chris and Sarah,” said Keri Llewellyn, president of Marcone Commercial Kitchen. “With our larger team, we can double down on our commitment to bring a new level of speed and service to the commercial kitchen repair market through broad inventory and expedited delivery options.”

Marcone Commercial Kitchen is a division of mSupply, which has experienced growth through acquisition in recent years. The company expanded from its roots as an appliance parts distributor to diversify into the HVAC, plumbing, pool and spa and commercial kitchen markets with a distribution network that promotes fast delivery through a vast distribution network throughout the U.S. and Canada.
