Mr. Benevento works to bring Mekitec’s best value X-Ray message to their customers in both North and South America, where many companies use less – effective forms of Foreign Object detection.

Kelly Allen, Membership Manager for BEMA had an opportunity to ask Mr. Benevento a few questions about himself and the organization.

Q: What drew your company to join BEMA?

A: Mekitec works globally with the baking industry.  Due to the importance of baking within the US and the Americas, we identified BEMA as a partner to whom we could share our experiences, but also from whom we could learn.

Q: What do you love most about working in the baking industry?

Mekitec US - BEMA new member spotlightA: The baking industry is large, constantly evolving, and never stagnant.  It is an extremely vibrant and important share of the US economy.

It encompasses a range of companies; from those that are well-established with strong decades-old brands to dynamic new start-ups that are creating new product categories, fulfilling new consumer demands and clawing out their space in the baking market.

Q: What is something new or innovative that your company has done recently?

A: Mekitec was built on the proposition of providing bakers, and other food production manufacturers a growth path from and capability enhancement over their currently installed metal detectors.

With the increasing sanitary standards and regulations, Mekitec provides to the US market extremely cost-effective and reliable X-ray solutions to increase Foreign-Object detection at their Critical Control Points.

Q: What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?

A: My wife, Sandra, and my personal interests revolve around our children; Alex 15 years old, and Isabella 13 years old.  We enjoy exploring new cities and countries and supporting their cross-country and volleyball activities.  I am a lifelong fisherman.  We volunteer for their high-school and club activities, as well as supporting the Ohio Family and Youth Initiative (www.fyiohio.org).

Q: If you could have a superpower, what would it be?

A: My superpower would be to fly.  Imagine not having to drive to the airport, surviving delayed or cancelled flights, and paying for increasingly priced tickets.  Being serious, I would like to be able to see the world, at times, from a different angle.
