UK-based UV curing specialist GEW has named Chuck Irons as its new sales manager for North America.
Mr Irons’ career spans over 40 years in the industry and has been focused on sales and sales management in commercial, newspaper and digital printing. He has in-depth experience of dealing with printers and OEMs all around the world, primarily in web offset print, for companies such as Contiweb and Goss International. The majority of his career has been in the ancillaries side of the print industry. This, stated GEW, means he has a wealth of experience in bringing importance to the component side of a press, whether as part of a new project or a retrofit project.
Mr Irons will spend time at the GEW Inc. headquarters in North Royalton, Ohio, while being primarily based at his office in Neenah, Wisconsin.
GEW managing director Robert Rae said, ‘Chuck’s skills are an excellent fit for GEW as we expand our reach across North America. We already have a commanding position in label and narrow web, but Chuck will focus on building our share in sheet-fed and web offset.
‘We have superb, market-leading UV and UV LED products that offer the perfect solution to these markets, both in terms of productivity and cost, and Chuck is ideally positioned to capitalise on this.’
