Bunting Magnetics Co., Newton, Kansas, has announced the appointment of Kevin Bowen to the company’s advisory board. The advisory board meets quarterly to provide insight on the company’s strategic growth plan and initiatives. 

“Bunting Magnetics is excited to welcome Kevin to the advisory board,” says Bob Bunting, president and CEO. “With Kevin’s extensive knowledge and industry experience in manufacturing, production and operations, I am confident he will be not only a valuable addition to the advisory board but [also] an equally valuable resource to the management team. We look forward to his guidance and fresh perspective as we continue to seek ways to improveour company and products and grow around the world.”

Bowen’s manufacturing career spans more than 40 years, most of which was at Coperion K-Tron, Sewell, New Jersey, which provides bulk material handling, feeding and pneumatic conveying equipment and systems for chemical, plastics, food and pharmaceutical industries. Originally K-Tron’s production manager, Bowen transitioned into sales and management positions before becoming president of K-Tron International, a position he held for more than 22 years. 

“Through my career at K-Tron, I became very familiar with Bunting Magnetics. Bob has a solid leadership team and a well-respected position in the industry,” says Bowen. “I look forward to working with them as they develop and execute new sales, operations and manufacturing strategies to continue their growth and expand their global reach.”
