Sheet extrusion specialist Processing Technologies International LLC (PTi) has promoted Ryan Pasturczak to sales manager. Pasturczak joined PTi nearly 18 years ago as a new graduating engineer from Northern Illinois University. Over this time frame, he has developed a comprehensive understanding of PTi’s equipment, services and practices, and possesses a natural sales acumen, making him uniquely qualified for this role, the company said in a press release.

After joining PTi in 2007 with a degree in mechanical engineering, Pasturczak spent six years in the engineering department designing extrusion systems. Thereafter, he transitioned to supervisor of the project management group, where for the next seven years he developed standards and managed a multitude of projects, from quotes through installation phases.

In 2020, Pasturczak transitioned to an inside sales role as a systems analysis manager where he has been instrumental in equipment standards and quote preparation, as well as various customer and OEM partner interactions.

In his new role, Pasturczak will report to Brian Winton, VP Sales, and will provide managerial assistance to the sales team, coordinate outside sales activities and maintain key customer communications, in addition to the continuation of technical proposal preparation and maintenance of quoting procedures. Moreover, the machine builder says Pasturczak intends to utilize his technical background to provide ideal engineered solutions to PTi’s customers and their sheet production needs, while developing and strengthening relationships and rapport, thus improving upon the overall customer experience.
