Hunt Valley, Maryland based Mitsubishi Heavy Industries America Corrugating Machinery Division (MHIA) announces that Jon Rhoades has officially assumed full responsibility for the Northeast U.S. and Canada sales territory, effective April 1, following the retirement of longtime Regional Sales Manager John Bacot.
Rhoades, who was promoted to Regional Sales Manager in October 2025, has spent the past several months working alongside Bacot to ensure a seamless transition. Since September, he has collaborated closely with customers across the region, maintaining continuity and strengthening relationships ahead of the transition.
Prior to moving into sales, Rhoades held roles in Field Service and as a Machinery Continuous Improvement Specialist, where he worked directly with customers to optimize equipment performance, reduce waste, and improve operational efficiency.
“Jon brings the right mix of field experience and customer focus to lead this region,” said Christine Little, Director of Sales. “He’s ready to move it forward.”
