Buffalo, NY, December 21, 2016 --(PR.com)-- Schutte-Buffalo Hammermill, LLC, a New York based manufacturer of a complete line of size reduction equipment and systems solutions, today announced forthcoming leadership changes at the company.
Effective on January 2, 2017, Christopher Berardi will assume the positions of President and General Manager of Schutte-Buffalo. “After thorough succession planning, the Company is quite pleased to have internally found the best individual to assume the President’s mantle from Tom Warne,” said Martin Berardi, CEO of Schutte-Buffalo. “Since joining us, Chris has demonstrated both vision and a business acumen that has resulted in improved operational effectiveness across the entire organization.”
“I’m grateful for the opportunity to lead an exceptional organization with such great history,” said Christopher Berardi, a graduate of the Park School of Buffalo, Emory University, and the University at Buffalo School of Law, who, prior to joining Schutte-Buffalo as its Vice President and General Manager in early 2016, was a corporate attorney focused on financial transactions. “I intend to ensure that Schutte-Buffalo continues to lead the way in the ongoing evolution of the size-reduction equipment industry.”
