Companies rely on these ingredients to improve texture, mouthfeel, bulking, water binding, consistency, nutritional profile and shelf life of their products.
Aware of market trends and industry challenges, Trish identifies needs, sets objectives, develops innovative sales solutions, leverages relationships and is dedicated to generating opportunities with sustainable results.
Trish is also a valued member of the Bakers Courtesy Club and has selflessly given her time in support of the goals and focus for the organization.

Ken’s background lends itself to effectively working with a multitude of customers to bring new ideas to Manufacturing and ultimately, to market fruition.
