Robert King joins Actega

This newly created role demonstrates the company’s ongoing commitment to the flexible packaging and labels industry, as well as its drive to expand its market share in the region.

Jim Harris, director of sales for flexible packaging in North America at Actega, said: ‘It was clear that with Actega’s continuous product innovation and vision to enhance its position in this sector, we required someone in a dedicated, leadership role to support the team and our ever-increasing customer base. King’s over 40 years of industry experience, extensive product knowledge, and strong technical background in flexographic printing operations make him the ideal candidate for this new position.
