Rotocontrol has named André Klinkow as its new sales manager for Western Europe, to further increase representation of its range of high-speed label and digital hybrid finishing machines.
Mr Klinkow brings more than 30 years of experience in offset and digital printing, and label finishing. He started his career as an offset operator at Druckerei Gronenberg before moving into plant manager roles in digital and offset printing at two other German printers. He then expanded into sales management positions with digital press manufactures Kodak and HP Indigo, and recently with OneVision Software and AB Graphic.
As Rotocontrol’s Western Europe sales manager, Mr Klinkow is responsible for direct sales and working with local agents. ‘With an increasing demand for digitalisation in label printing and the associated necessary finishing, I see an incredible growth opportunity for Rotocontrol. Over the years, Rotocontrol has proven its commitment to developing premium label finishing systems, especially focusing on compatibility with digital label printing presses. Rounded out with its recent addition of the Ecoline range of entry-level label finishing machines, it’s an exciting time to represent Rotocontrol and bring my relative experience and expertise to the organisation at an international level.’
Rotocontrol managing director Marco Aengenvoort said, ‘André’s years of experience in digital printing and label finishing is highly admirable. He has built strong connections with narrow web label printers and converters throughout Europe, and his extensive knowledge of this market is of great value to Rotocontrol, our partners, and especially our customers.’
This marks the third recent addition to Rotocontrol’s sales organisation, following the appointment of Artur Gondek as area sales manager and Francisco Soto as director of sales, Latin America (including Florida) and the Caribbean.
