Steve Fishman will retire from his role as executive vice president for TriMark USA, effective Dec. 31, 2020.

Fishman came to TriMark when the Massachusetts-based foodservice equipment and supplies dealer acquired his family’s company, SS Kemp, in 2007. Over the course of his career, Fishman served as executive vice president for SS Kemp and as vice president of vendor programs for TriMark USA. In addition, Fishman serves on the board of directors for NexGen, a foodservice equipment buying group of which TriMark is a member. In the past he also was active in IFED, another foodservice equipment buying group.

“I want to thank Steve for all he has done for SS Kemp, TriMark, the industry and my career,” says Tom Wienclaw, executive vice president, North Region for TriMark USA. “Steve, a relentless negotiator, has taught literally hundreds of employees the industry while showing the passion needed to succeed. Steve’s legacy will live on long after his retirement.”
