SPGPrints America strengthens sales team in response to growing graphics business

In his position, Ardo will provide guidance and application advice to ensure customers achieve smooth installations and optimum return on investment, SPGPrints said in a statement announcing the appointment. He has more than 30 years of print industry experience, with roles in color reproduction and sales and marketing. His previous employers include Creo, xpedx, Eastman Kodak and Kocher+Beck. SPGPrints America has also appointed Tyler York to its graphics sales team. 

These appointments follow the sale of SPGPrints’ third DSI UV inkjet press in North America to Panel Solutions, an Elkhart, Indiana-based synthetic tile manufacturer, and the sale of eight SPGPrints systems at Labelexpo Europe 2015.

Edward Scheppink, managing director of SPGPrints Americas, said: ‘This year, we have enjoyed significant success, with the first installations of our digital UV-inkjet technology, and further penetration of the rotary screen integration systems in the label and packaging market. We are excited to welcome Jeffrey and Tyler, who complement our US operation with additional significant industry expertise.

‘The extension of our sales force further supports our growth ambitions in both conventional as well as digital graphics printing.’
