Hanningfield USA Appoints Bob Luebbe as President

What benefit can US customers expect from Hanningfield?

Hanningfield has been selling in the US for quite some time. This appointment will allow us to expand that offering. We’ll have a US footprint, and we’ll be able to deliver from the US — overnight for parts if needed. We’ll also have an assembly of stocked parts, so we can react very quickly when a customer has a need, is down, or just requires service and assistance.

What is the Hanningfield advantage?

From milling to sieving, blending, IBCs, transport, and fill and discharge, you can get everything in one place — and it’s all integrated together. You don’t have to hope you’re going to get a piece of equipment from somewhere else, bring it in, and make exceptions just to make it work.

When you buy a Hanningfield system, you know it’s all integrated together. It’s been tested together and vetted to ensure it will work seamlessly. It makes it easy for the buyer to go to one place and one FAT, instead of going to several different places.

What excites you about Hanningfield’s ability to customize?

A big advantage of Hanningfield that I see—and what really intrigued me to join this team—is the flexibility of equipment and design. You don’t have to just buy a catalog piece. We’re not afraid to make small changes.

We’re not stuck on “it has to be this size by that size” if we need to adjust something to fit your requirement. If you’re using an IBC system, it can grow with you. You may also be integrating equipment that was made 20 years ago, and we can still adapt it to fit what we’re doing now.

But it isn’t a case of “we’re going to change something and now it’s a huge change order.” It’s part of our DNA — to make it fit properly and work the way it’s intended to work for that specific customer.
