TAKKT Foodservices Taps Experienced Foodservice Equipment Leader as Division President

TAKKT Foodservices, the parent company of Hubert and Central Restaurant Products, has appointed Keri Llewellyn as division president and a member of TAKKT AG’s executive leadership team. She succeeds Keith Kelly, who is stepping down after successfully developing TAKKT Foodservices’ future strategy while adding key industry talent.

Llewellyn brings to the FEDA distributor member more than two decades of commercial foodservice industry experience and a proven track record of driving commercial growth and building high-performing teams. Most recently, Llewellyn served as president at Marcone Commercial Kitchen Group, where she built a ground-up parts distribution business. Her leadership resulted in market share growth, enhanced operator and customer experiences through AI-driven applications, and improved profitability with holistic pricing, procurement, and customer segmentation strategies. At Welbilt, Llewellyn was chief commercial officer for North America, where she held full commercial profit and loss responsibility, established a customer-first culture, simplified processes, secured new clients, and delivered positive sales, margin, and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) growth.

“We extend our sincere gratitude to Keith Kelly for his outstanding leadership and significant contributions to TAKKT Foodservices,” said Andreas Weishaar, CEO of TAKKT AG. “We invite our partners, customers, and colleagues to join us in warmly welcoming Keri Llewellyn to her new role and supporting her onboarding.”
