Finishing solutions manufacturer Kama has named Oliver Finkeldey as its new area sales manager for Greater China, Southeast Asia/Pacific, Japan, the Middle East and Southern Africa.
Finkeldey brings over 25 years of experience in the print industry and a track record in sales and product development, with a particular focus on Asian markets. A trained printer and fluent in the region’s commercial landscape, his goal in the new position is to grow Kama’s reach across his designated territories.
“Kama has an excellent reputation in Asia as a premium manufacturer for hot foil finishing equipment and we have the most installations in this area there,” said Mr Finkeldey. “We now want to increasingly establish the highly automated Kama finishing solutions in digital packaging printing, where they make finishing more efficient and production more flexible for our customers with very fast job changes and high machine availability.”
Based in Germany, Kama specialises in post-press and finishing solutions for sheetfed offset, digital printing and digital packaging. The company aims to increase its presence in fast-growing markets by offering automation-led solutions to improve efficiency and flexibility in short-run printing and variable packaging production.

ILLIES in Thailand, Interworld in the Philippines, the Currie Group in the Pacific, Heidelberg in Japan, and Printech Trading across the Middle East. His remit includes both strengthening existing partnerships and expanding the company’s market footprint.
