Mark Andy expands European service organization

Mark Andy has announced a series of appointments to its service organization in Europe.

John Hudson, technical service director, will manage the European service technician team, scheduling installations and technical service visits. Hudson has been with Mark Andy UK since it opened in 1993. His technical training and insight is expected to add to the company’s service resources in Europe – which include three European sales and service offices, eight technicians proficient in servicing all Mark Andy brands, and expanded spare parts centers to more effectively service regional parts requests.

Alexander Schmidt has been promoted to print services supervisor for Europe. Since joining Mark Andy in 2008 as print instructor, Schmidt has lead the initiative for HD Flexo certification and establishing relationships with suppliers in the region. He will be responsible for coordinating and conducting print demonstrations in the recently opened UK showroom as well as managing his team of print technicians.

Further additions to the print services team include Florian Stroe and Phil Baldwin. A native of Romania, Stroe has more than 11 years' experience as a printer, technician, instructor and supervisor. His printing experience with Mark Andy and Comco presses is said to complement his effective communication style, ‘making him a perfect candidate for press demonstrations and print training’.

Baldwin has over 15 years' experience in narrow web printing and label production. Having most recently worked as production manager of a major UK label converter, he is said to have a unique perspective into the entire print workflow which will help him provide consultative support to Mark Andy users worldwide.
