Jorgensen Conveyor and Filtration Solutions has named John Powalisz as its new director of sales.
Powalisz takes over for the company’s former Director of Sales and Marketing, Karl Kleppek, who was promoted to the position of company president and COO in November 2022.
Powalisz has served manufacturing clients in more than 40 countries providing solutions to a number of A-list companies, including, Ford, General Motors, contract captive machining companies, and Tesla.

He specializes in working with inside and outside sales teams as well as independent representatives and distributors to help customers find the most efficient and cost-effective methods to serve their markets and customers.
Prior to joining Jorgensen, he sold capital equipment solutions for the heat treatment and manufacturing industries, sampling equipment and systems for thermal power plants and oil and gas. This also included providing solutions to the food and beverage sector with companies such as JM Smuckers, ADM, and Cargill.
