“We are excited at the opportunity to add new capabilities and personnel to Fayetteville to be able to handle additional product lines for our growing customer base. With the help of Tennessee resources, we are able to hire and train the kind of productive workers that keep our growth engine running and make us competitive in a demanding marketplace,” said Christian Mathesius, CEO, Franke Foodservice Systems, Smyrna, Tennessee.
