BCI Adds New Branch Manager to Kansas City Office:
We are pleased to announce the arrival of Jeff Noland as our new Kansas City Branch Manager. Jeff not only has a stellar academic background, but excellent experience as well. Jeff couples his MBA from Georgetown with a PMP certification and considerable industrial experience.
Jeff’s more recent experience reaches back to Shick USA where he was Vice-President and General Manager which provided him with an in-depth knowledge of an ingredient automation company and the challenges associated with large scale systems work. His next step was into Rockwell Automation as a Solution Architect. Since BCI is one of approximately 35 Solution Providers in the US and also part of a further subset of “Process Recognized” SP’s, Jeff’s background with the Rockwell technology and its personnel is of significant value to both BCI and our customers. Jeff moved from Rockwell to Ronning Engineering, a rotary dryer company, as the Executive Vice President/General Manager and was instrumental in the subsequent growth of that company. Jeff comes to us from his most recent dryer experience.
