AVT names Matt Bennett president of its American sales

In his new role, Bennett will be responsible for managing and executing all sales, marketing and customer support activities for AVT in the Americas. As president of AVT’s Americas region, Bennett will also join the company’s corporate management group and will report directly to CEO Jaron Lotan.

Prior to joining AVT, Bennett served as sales director of packaging in North America for HP. He brings with him many years of experience and an outstanding performance record, especially in leading HP’s entry into the flexible packaging and folding carton markets. Prior to that, he spent 17 years with Heidelberg, where he climbed the ranks from salesman to regional manager and, ultimately, vice president.

‘I'm extremely excited with the opportunity to oversee North American activities for the worldwide market leader in inspection, quality and color management systems,’ Bennett said. ‘More and more brands and packaging converters are demanding the highest quality control and process requirements that only AVT solutions can deliver.’

Lotan said: ‘We are happy to welcome Matt to AVT in this important position. Matt brings with him many years of experience and successful leadership, and close familiarity with AVT’s customer base and business model. I am confident that under his stewardship AVT will continue to grow and succeed in the Americas by providing excellent value to our customers in the form of unparalleled inspection and quality control solutions.’
