He will join Contiweb US sales manager Ralph Casale, who will focus on existing HSWO customers, selling new equipment and aftermarket products, while Gene will focus on new equipment sales to digital inkjet printers,’ commented Bosman. ‘With not only his extensive expertise in the print industry but also his valuable connections, Gene will help strengthen our relationships with our existing customers and help create long-lasting relationships with new ones. This is a positive move for the region and the company as a whole.’
