Xeikon has appointed James Thomas as UK sales manager for the company’s digital label presses. He joins the digital press manufacturer from Focus Label Machinery, where he was business development and marketing manager.
‘The chance to join Xeikon was too good an opportunity to turn down,’ said Mr Thomas. ‘It was especially enticing when listening to where they see themselves both in the current market and in the future, with new products that are being developed. These are exciting times to be working with Xeikon, Flint Group, and the digital print sector.’
Prior to Focus Label Machinery Mr Thomas worked in a number of sales roles across the industry – most notably with Ferag, where he was national sales and trade development manager. He began his printing industry career with HMSO at Somerset House in London.
‘James brings with him a wealth of sales experience, industry knowledge, and understanding of the market,’ said Hans Gerinckx, Xeikon’s vice president of sales and channels. ‘He will be a great asset.’
