    ProXES named Carla Guzman as the new managing director and president of ProXES North America, overseeing operations in Canada, Mexico, and the United States. This historic appointment marks the first time a woman has held this strategic role in the region.

    ProXES, known for its "your processing partner" slogan, combines the strengths of three processing technology brands: FrymaKoruma, Stephan, and Terlet. ProXES is dedicated to developing smart processing solutions that create sustainable value for its customers. 

    “When the opportunity came, I didn't hesitate to accept the challenge. Representing FrymaKoruma, Stephan, and Terlet —brands trusted by industry leaders — is a huge honor and responsibility. These brands have delivered value and reliability for decades, with equipment still running efficiently after more than 40 years," Guzman said.

    Guzman’s extensive experience and innovative mindset make her the ideal leader to drive ProXES North America toward new heights, the company states. Her career spans over two decades in the food industry, during which she has held key leadership positions at several renowned companies, managing processing solutions for diverse applications.

    In her new role, Carla has been tasked with driving double-digit growth in the next five years. To accomplish such an ambitious goal, she highlighted the importance of leveraging ProXES' innovative technologies and customer-centric approach to meet this ambitious goal.

    "Carla's appointment is a significant milestone for ProXES North America. Her strategic vision and deep industry knowledge will be instrumental in driving our North American operations forward. We are confident that under her leadership, ProXES will continue to grow and innovate," said Marc Setzen, Global CEO of ProXES.
