CINCINNATI OH; ROCKY MOUNT, NC - Pro Mach's Ossid Division has named Fran Ventura, a 25-year sales veteran for horizontal form, fill, and seal equipment, Vice President of Sales for its MH product line of thermoforming, vacuum, modified atmosphere and ambient packaging solutions.
Before joining Ossid, Mr. Ventura successfully directed sales to medical device and industrial/consumable markets for Winpak and CFS, where he held several sales leadership and technical positions.
