FFEI grows Graphium team

McKerlie has over 15 years of experience working in the printing industry and will be responsible for driving sales growth and commercial success of FFEI's range of Graphium inkjet printers and software-related products in designated territories of Europe, Middle East and Africa.

Previously McKerlie spent 10 years at HP selling the HP Indigo range of presses, with his most recent tenure at Label Traxx. Having worked across the EMEA region, in various roles within the graphic arts market, FFEI said McKerlie brings a wealth of experience to the position.

Bharat has been working in the printing industry for 30 years and will be working within the marketing team to provide applications and technical sales support to the channel partners. The main focus will also be selling FFEI's range of Graphium inkjet printers and software-related products.

Specializing in digital printing for the labels and packaging market, Bharat has more than 10 years of experience in product training, solution consultancy and pre-sales throughout the UK, Europe and Far East.

The Graphium was a big draw at last week's Ipex 2014, where it was displayed on the Fujifilm stand. Read David Pittman's report from Ipex 2014 here.

FFEI managing director Andy Cook said: ‘We are on a mission to transform the labels and packaging market. To achieve our goals it is vital that we employ talent from the labels and packaging market - experienced professionals who can help us capitalise on the many new and varied opportunities opening up.

‘Both Andrew and Bhupinder bring years of experience in the digital label and packaging market to our team. I look forward to their support as we manage the strong growth of Graphium sales.’
