Welbilt Announces New Leader for Kolpak Brand

Welbilt, a FEDA manufacturer member and an Ali Group company, has promoted Todd Fenton to vice president and general manager of Kolpak.

Fenton has served as director of operations for Kolpak, a Welbilt brand, since 2025. He brings more than two decades of experience in the foodservice equipment and supplies industry to the role. Before joining Kolpak, he spent more than seven years with Star Holdings Group, a division of Middleby Corp., where he held several key leadership roles, including vice president of engineering. Earlier in his career, he held senior engineering positions at Delfield and Welbilt from 2004 to 2017.

The leadership change follows the departure of Clint Reed, who previously served as president of Kolpak.

“Todd brings a strong operational mindset, deep industry knowledge, and a proven track record of supporting high-performing engineering teams,” said Filippo Berti, Ali Group chairman and CEO. “We are confident he will continue to build on Kolpak’s legacy of innovation, quality, and customer focus as he leads the business forward.”
