Richard Warnick to lead KBA flexo drive in the UK and Ireland through KBA-Flexotecnica

With over 23 years of experience in print and packaging – in both production and sales roles – his appointment signals the creation of a unique, UK-based sales and service network with direct contact to the manufacturing facility in Tavazzano, near Milan, Italy.

KBA-Flexotecnica was formed following the German press manufacturer’s takeover of Italy’s Flexotecnica as it targets growth markets.

KBA (UK) managing director Andrew Pang said the appointment will bring ‘huge benefits’ for both existing and potential customers.

‘Expanding our growing sales and service team to include Richard’s specialist knowledge and experience in the field of flexographic printing will bring huge benefits for both existing and potential customers. KBA will also be able to provide an exciting and unique proposition for flexo printers in the UK and Ireland. Richard will be a key figure in creating the same partnership approach which is proving to be so successful in our sheet-fed division.’

‘I’m looking forward to building on the considerable advances that KBA-Flexotecnica has made in the UK and Ireland,’ said Warnick. ‘It is exciting to be joining the extended KBA family which has earned a reputation for excellence in customer support. KBA (UK) will be offering the whole package of sales, service, print performance and consumables. This will allow KBA-Flexotecnica to differentiate itself in the fiercely competitive food and flexible packaging markets.’
