FORTREX NAMES NEW PRESIDENT OF SANITATION

ATLANTA, GA – September 14, 2026 – Fortrex, the leading food safety solution and sanitation provider, today announced Doug White has been named President of Sanitation.

After spending more than a decade at Fortrex, White chose to come out of retirement earlier this year – drawn back to the industry, people, and customers he values most. White originally rejoined the company as interim Vice President of Operations for the West region, and previously served as President, Chief Operating Officer, Senior Vice President, and Vice President of Corporate Development.

“Doug’s commitment to operational excellence and his ability to drive teams forward is unparalleled,” CEO Jeff LeBlanc said. “We were delighted to hear that Doug wants to not only rejoin the industry, but bring his more than 25 years of experience back home to Fortrex.”

White believes that “our mission matters, and our customers deserve consistent service and the resources to help solve problems in their plants. At the same time, our people deserve a growing company that empowers them. My approach is simple: support operations, bring the supporting functions along, communicate clearly, and compete strategically.”

In his new role, White will oversee Fortrex’s Operations, Food Safety, EHS, and Continuous Improvements teams. With more than two decades of leadership and operational expertise, White plans to drive results through fostering strong customer relationships, strategic planning, and strengthening communications between teams.

Prior to joining Fortrex in 2013, White also held leadership positions at PepsiCo and Aramark, among others.

White joins Fortrex at a pivotal moment for the company, bringing a wealth of industry knowledge to help Fortrex scale and grow in the coming years.
