Duro Bag brings Robert LeBlanc to Foodservice

Sunday, November 28, 2010 7:00 PM

Duro Bag Mfg. is pleased to welcome Robert LeBlanc as Vice President of Foodservice Sales.

Bob brings to Duro 28 years of experience and success primarily focused in the foodservice industry. He joined General Foods Foodservice as an account representative after graduating from Babson College with a B.S. in Marketing. He then held numerous positions with increasing responsibility at General Foods, including region chain account manager, sales planning manager, region sales manager, and director of sales planning and operations. Kraft and General Foods merged in 1995, creating the largest food company in the U.S. where Bob rose to the position of Vice President of Foodservice Field Sales.

Bob left Kraft/General Foods to join Mrs. Smith Bakeries where he led the foodservice sales organization. Most recently, Bob was the Vice President of Foodservice Sales for the Solo Cup Co. and was responsible for more than $1 billion of foodservice sales and a direct sales organization of 120 individuals.

While in leadership sales positions, Bob successfully grew the foodservice business both through established accounts and by adding new accounts. John Gillen, President and Chief Operating Officer for Duro Standard Products recounted his decision to bring LeBlanc onboard, “Bob is an excellent choice to lead Duro’s Foodservice sales and marketing efforts. He has deep industry experience, understands how to meet and exceed customer needs, and is accustomed to selling quality products.” Gillen continues, “He has developed outstanding relationships and is well acquainted with many of our foodservice customer base. He will help us meet their needs and grow our business with them. I expect him to ‘hit the ground running’. “

Bob will be responsible to lead Duro’s foodservice business and develop and execute plans to grow the business with national and regional accounts. He will create and execute business strategies; ensure that Duro has full new product and new customer pipelines; personally interact with current and new customers; and lead our foodservice sales team.

We are excited to have Bob join the Duro team!
