Hiperbaric’s Anthony Zapata Earns PMMI On the Rise Award
PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, has named Anthony Zapata, marketing and sales specialist for Hiperbaric, a 2021 On the Rise Award winner. Developed by PMMI’s Emerging Leaders Committee, the fourth annual awards recognize only 10 young professionals who have demonstrated leadership potential in the packaging and processing industry.
Hiperbaric, a manufacturer of high pressure processing (HPP) equipment for the food and beverage industry, added Zapata to its marketing team almost two years ago.
Zapata helped efficiently segment the company’s database and create email nurturing campaigns using content marketing to qualify sales leads. Since then, he has been able to maximize a $1 million marketing budget to generate over 1,700 leads and $80 million in marketing-sourced opportunities, which allowed Hiperbaric to close $22 million in new HPP machinery business.
“Since day one, Anthony has shown initiative and dedication to move Hiperbaric forward as a company,” said Roberto Peregrina, director, Hiperbaric USA. “He has immersed himself in the industry and our company, working alongside our diverse and global team. He is a true asset to our company.”
Award winners were honored at PMMI’s Annual Meeting on Nov. 9 in Detroit.
