Landa makes key appointments to progress nanographic printing press commercialization

Landa Digital Printing has named Marc Schillemans as its new EMEA vice-president of sales and Kobi Ulmer as vice-president of field operations.

Benny Landa: ‘The appointment of Marc Schillemans is of huge importance to our EMEA roll-out.'

Schillemans has a track record for building digital print businesses, and over the past eight years has held a variety of senior management positions at HP, from president of Scitex Vision to his most recent role as EMEA vice-president of sales and market development for HP Indigo and IHPS, HP’s inkjet web business.

Prior to joining HP, Schillemans held senior sales positions with Agfa, Esko, Xeikon and Xerox.

Landa Digital Printing said Schillemans’ digital print experience and proven results-driven approach will bolster its sales ramp-up and market penetration.

Ulmer has been promoted to the position of vice-president of field operations from director of worldwide sales.

In his new role, Ulmer is responsible for overall operational and logistical implementation of Landa’s market strategy, including global customer satisfaction, consumables, facilities and field logistics.

Ulmer continues to be responsible for all non-EMEA sales at Landa Digital Printing.
