Lee is responsible for leading strategies that bring Key’s high-performance digital sorting, conveying and process automation systems, as well as world-class service, to food processors throughout North America and Latin America.

Key’s activities in Europe, the Middle East, India and Asia will continue to be led by Antoine van Bree, President/Managing Director, Key Technology – EMEIA. Jack Lee succeeds Carson Brennan, who is relocating to the Chicago area and taking an expanded role in business development at Duravant.

"Jack is committed to Key’s ongoing success and aligning WECO together with Key. We’re accelerating on our strategy to pursue more common commercial opportunities and provide Duravant’s customers with a more integrated and comprehensive suite of sorting solutions."
Jack Lee:
 
"Key and WECO occupy an exciting space at a dynamic time. By working with food processors to optimize final product quality, despite extreme weather causing wide fluctuations in the quality of harvested crops, we’re able to act as a buffer to improve things for farmers, food processors and consumers alike."

"We’re also addressing sustainability by reducing food processors’ energy and water use, plus decreasing their reliance on manual labor. Our purpose is to feed the world."
Lee brings over 20 years of leadership experience in industrial automation. Most recently, he was President of Red Lion Controls, a division of Spectris PLC.
