Walroth New Regional Sales Manager-LAVATEC

LAVATEC has hired Jake Walroth as the new Regional Sales Manager for the Midwest. Based in Cincinnati, Walroth manages a 12-state territory and reports to Jim Shaw, LAVATEC’s Vice President and National Accounts Sales Manager.

About the Role

This position focuses on building and growing customer relationships within a long-term territory, providing top-tier service for commercial laundry facilities, and expanding market presence in the Midwest.

Background

Walroth brings 10 years of sales experience, with five years specifically in the commercial laundry industry. He holds a degree in international business from Miami University. His career includes roles at Washing Systems (WSI), Alsco Uniforms as a sales training manager, and Richards Industrials as a product manager.

“My dad’s experience in the industry was a huge influence with my decision to join LAVATEC. I realized how solid the industry is economically and how it is largely a people business, which is most appealing to me,” Walroth said. “I’ve been relishing the opportunity to work for a company and a product I believe in, and LAVATEC checked both of those boxes for me. I truly enjoy building relationships, and I’m super happy to have a territory that I can build and grow over the long term. My immediate goal is to meet with as many customers and prospects as possible. And while I’ll continue to learn more from the machine side of the business, I plan to provide my customers with the absolute best possible service for their facilities.”

Personal Interests

Outside of work, Walroth enjoys spending time with his partner Lucy, family, and friends. His hobbies include cooking, playing golf, pickleball, and guitar to explore music theory.
