BARRINGTON, N.H. — Commercial laundry equipment distributor Yankee Equipment Systems Inc. reports it has appointed Peter Limoncelli its chief operating officer.
He has served in a variety of positions at Yankee throughout his 22-year career, ranging from field sales to sales management to executive, the company says.
Limoncelli, who is part of Yankee’s ownership, has been “an integral part” of the distributor’s long-range planning for several years, and was “key to helping Yankee being named Speed Queen Distributor of the Year in 2012,” the company reports.
“The Board of Directors is pleased to appoint Peter Limoncelli to the position of chief operating officer,” says Ted Ristaino, company president. “Peter’s passion for the industry and drive to form long-term relationships with our customers has resulted in steady growth of product offerings and revenue over the last several years.”
With several product lines and profit centers, the company’s business is “much more complex” today than it was 10 years ago, Ristaino adds.
“In order to maintain this growth while retaining our customer-focused model, we believed it was critical for Peter to expand his [overall] role at Yankee and subsequently in our industry.”
