The Montague Co. Taps New President

The Ali Group today announced Joe Deckelman has been named president of The Montague Co., a provider of heavy-duty cooking and refrigeration equipment.

Deckelman brings nearly three decades of experience in the commercial foodservice industry to the role. He joined The Montague Co. in 2014 as vice president of sales and marketing and was promoted to the role of executive vice president of sales and marketing in November 2021.

He also previously served as vice president of sales and marketing at Champion Industries, an Ali Group company, from 2010 to 2014, and held various positions at Hobart and Wells Bloomfield.

Additionally, he founded the Club Montague program, which serves as the cornerstone of Montague’s channel strategy.”

In his new role as president, Deckelman will be responsible for the day-to-day management of The Montague Co.
