Insta-Pro International named Jonathan Kingsbury as president and CEO. Kingsbury has more than 20 years of senior-level sales and marketing experience in industrial equipment roles as well as a depth of international experience, most recently as vice president, sales and marketing of Hydra-Flex. Prior to that, Kingsbury served as vice president, sales for Nilfisk, a global manufacturer of floor cleaning equipment, and global director for Ecolab, a global leader in cleaning and sanitizing products. 

“Jonathan joins Insta-Pro at an important time for our company, our customers, and the industry,” said Nick Santrizos, chairman of the board. “Jonathan has extensive experience leading innovative 

businesses through hands-on engagement with clients and converting their requirements and feedback into valuable products and services that solve their unique challenges. Insta-Pro is known throughout the animal feed industry for its best-in-class extrusion technology and nutritional expertise. Jonathan is the right leader to build upon our new advances in extrusion technology and lead our clients to a higher level as we strive to meet the increased global demand for protein and the marketplace's selective appetite for quality food products.”  

“Insta-Pro has a unique company culture focused on taking care of each other and their customers,” said Kingsbury. “As the processing industry continues to evolve, Insta-Pro has been on the forefront bringing larger equipment to the market and highlighting proven nutritional advantages for animals and humans. In this respect, Insta-Pro has positioned itself strongly against its competitors who fall short in providing feeding trials and a suite of services to their clients.”

Kingsbury follows Kevin Kacere who retired after 13 years with the company.
