LA VERNE, Calif. – Paper Pak Industries announced today the creation of a new team within the company’s sales and marketing organization. Bob Bova, previously Paper Pak’s Midwest Region Sales Manager, will now lead Paper Pak’s new business initiatives as Vice President, Business Development. Mr. Bova will focus on further developing Paper Pak’s line of value-added absorbent food safety products in the United States and Canada. Lindsay Riehle, Paper Pak’s Technical Sales Manager, will report directly to Mr. Bova.
“Bob Bova is uniquely qualified to lead Paper Pak’s business development team. Bob has a keen understanding of food safety issues and a strong track record of successfully developing new products and systems in the food industry,” noted Ron Jensen, Paper Pak Industries’ Chief Executive Officer and President. “Bob and his team will also utilize Paper Pak’s state-of-the-art microbiology lab and research center to develop new value-added absorbent products for food processors and grocery retailers.” Mr. Bova earned a BS degree in Animal Science from Michigan State University and has had increasingly responsible sales and marketing positions with Cargill, Farmland Foods and BilMar Foods.
