Richard Warnick has been appointed by KBA (UK) to take responsibility for sales in the UK for the newly formed KBA-Flexotecnica flexographic printing systems division.

Mr Warnick has over 23 years’ experience in print and packaging, having worked in both production and more recently sales roles for companies including Vymura PLC, Field Packaging (Bradford) and Eltromat inspection and register control systems. This appointment allows KBA to provide a UK-based presence for both sales and service support with direct contact to the manufacturing facility in Tavazzano near Milan, Italy.

Richard Warnick said, ‘I’m looking forward to building on the considerable advances that Flexotecnica has made in the UK market. It is exciting to be joining the extended KBA family, which has earned a reputation for excellence in customer support. The company will be offering the whole package of sales, service, print performance and consumables to the UK. This will allow KBA-Flexotecnica to differentiate itself in what is a fiercely competitive market.’

KBA (UK) Ltd managing director Andrew Pang added, ‘Expanding our growing sales and service team to include Richard’s specialist knowledge and experience in the field of flexographic printing will bring huge benefits for both existing and potential customers. KBA will also be able to provide an exciting and unique proposition for flexo printers in the UK. Richard will be a key figure in creating the same partnership approach which has proved so successful in our sheetfed division recently.’
