German industrial roasting equipment specialist Neuhaus Neotec last week announced the appointment of Ralf Torenz as managing director.
Torenz, who has been with the company for more than 23 years, officially assumed the position this summer, succeeding Victoria Behrmann, who will now work alongside Torenz as managing partner.
In recent years, Torenz has led sales, R&D and project management on behalf of the company, which was formed in 1987 with the merger of Neuhaus, which dated back to 1931 in Delmonhorst, Germany, and Neotec, which started as a licensee of Burns coffee roasting and processing equipment.

With coffee roasting and processing installations throughout the world, and a particular emphasis on the Europe, United States and Asia markets, Neuhaus Neotec is part of the Kahl Holdings group of industrial equipment companies.
The company, which specializes in large fluid-bed roasting systems with what it calls RFB (rotating flexible bed) technology, counts Jacobs Douwe Egberts, Nestlé, Tchibo, Kraft Heinz Foods, Aldi and MZB Segafredo among its past and/or current clients.
In February, Neuhaus Neotec installed what it described as the world’s first 100% electric industrial-scale roaster in Canada.
In an announcement of Torenz’s appointment last week, the company said that he will continue to promote existing industrial roaster lines while placing additional emphasis on drum roasting technology “in order to position Neuhaus Neotec as the first point of contact when it comes to advanced technical solutions — independent of the roasting philosophy.”
