By: E&P Staff Luxembourg-based Flint Group has restructured to give customers full access to its product portfolio through one sales contact.
Product lines serving the print media market for production of newspapers, inserts, magazines, catalogues, direct mail, stationery, forms, etc. are now integrated to form the regionalized Print Media divisions, Print Media Europe and Print Media North America.
"Our business units can now offer the full range of products and services demanded by the Print Media market comprising coldset inks, newspaper flexo inks, heatset inks, publication gravure inks, sheetfed inks as well as press room chemicals, printing blankets and sleeves for all offset printing processes," Flint Group CEO Charles Knott said in a statement.
Day International Europe Vice President Dermot Healy was named Print Media Europe president, and Inks Americas President Bill Miller is now Print Media North America president. Day International President Dennis R. Wolters announced he will retire at the end of June.
In making the changes, said Wolters, "we also have started to exploit the potential that exists in bringing the respective research and development activities and technical service teams closer together. We are committed to drive performance further beyond the point of improving each single product focusing on their interaction on the press to further optimise the printing process."
In Asia-Pacific, Flint Group will transition over time from a country-based structure to a divisional organization. Flint also formed a global Packaging and Narrow Web division, comprising its European and North American packaging inks businesses and global narrow web business.
