Olivier Chauval joins Marko Labelling to support international growth

Chauval is a French national and has spent much of his career in maintenance and engineering in the water industry, with his last position at the Roxanne water plant in Lichfield, UK, and at its US site and factories in France prior to that. Chauval will be based in the Burton upon Trent offices of Makro Labelling UK.

Richard Portman, managing director of Makro Labelling UK, said: ‘We doubled our turnover in the UK in 2015, and with the orders we have already for 2016 we are likely to significantly increase our sales again.

‘Olivier is a roll feed labeling specialist, which is a great asset to us as roll feed sales both in the UK and internationally are growing very quickly. Olivier will be used for installation and commissioning of Makro labellers both in the UK and Internationally.’

Makro Labelling UK plans further appointments in the UK in the coming months within internal administration/spare parts, and further sales and service support roles.
