EVERETT, WA — Formost Fuji, a packaging equipment manufacturer, bolstered its sales team with the addition of Patrick Harp as regional sales manager and major accounts coordinator.

“With a focus on enhancing customer relationships and supporting our regional sales managers, Patrick will play a key role in driving synergy and success across all levels of our sales process,” said Dennis Gunnell, president of Formost Fuji. “We welcome Patrick and his experience to Formost Fuji and look forward to him working shoulder to shoulder with our team.”

Harp started his sales career in custom machinery automation and integration before joining the industrial baking industry. Most recently, Harp addressed industry downtime challenges through an AI service software startup where he improved the remote support process for machine suppliers and end users.

In his new roles, Harp will promote seamless communication between corporate and regional customers and handle sales for the South-Central region, including Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri.

“I came to know Formost Fuji while I was promoting our new video collaboration software to the industry,” Harp said. “The way Dennis and his team interacted with me was very genuine and sincere, the best a salesman could hope for! Little did I know that years later, this opportunity would present itself. I had heard about Formost Fuji’s excellent reputation, but I had also experienced it first-hand and so for me; I am very appreciative to be a part of the team and to help amplify what they already have going.”
