T&S Brass and Bronze Works, a leading manufacturer of innovative foodservice and commercial plumbing products, has hired Jim Gallagher as business development manager for foodservice.

In this role, Gallagher will focus on business development opportunities within the grocery, convenience store, food processing and senior living channels.

Gallagher comes to T&S with nearly two decades of sales experience in the foodservice industry, most recently with Mainca USA, the North American master distributor for five Europe-based food processing manufacturers. He has also previously held retail-focused sales roles at Globe Food Equipment and AccuTemp.

“Jim’s in-depth experience with supermarkets and how they prefer to equip their stores will help the T&S foodservice team better serve those markets and their unique needs,” said Mike Orlando, T&S director of foodservice sales. “We’re excited to have him and his deep industry knowledge on board.”

A U.S. Air Force veteran, Gallagher studied communication and previously worked in journalism prior to joining the foodservice industry in 2000.
