It’s been a busy year at Rexfab! In addition to supporting our customers’ automation needs, we’ve also been preparing for IBIE 2022 and growing our presence in the United States.

We’ve always worked with U.S. bakeries, but we serviced them from our Sherbrooke, Quebec location. Today, we have operations in the United States helmed by food industry veteran Phillip Payton.

In June, Phillip Payton was named President of Rexfab’s U.S. operations, which are located in Kennesaw, Georgia. Phillip will play an integral role in the future growth of Rexfab, anchoring our operations in the United States and allowing us to better serve our customers.

As President of Rexfab’s U.S. operations, Payton will oversee the company’s U.S.-based sales, manufacturing, project management and service functions. Payton has extensive food industry and steel fabrication experience, giving him unique insight into the needs of commercial bakeries and food processors, as well as the construction of automated manufacturing systems.

Payton’s experience consists of more than 20 years of engineering and management in both the capital equipment and food processing industries. Most recently he served as the Director of Sales for Woods Fabrication.
