Flexo pre-press solutions specialist Heaford has confirmed Danny Scales as its new sales manager for the USA. He brings more than two decades of industry experience to the role.
Mr Scales has previously worked for HP and Bobst, as well as converters Crowson Stone Printing and Artistic Carton Company. His background includes experience across flexographic production, pre-press and automation.
Commenting on his appointment, Mr Scales said: “Heaford’s commitment to high-quality and simple automation allows companies to streamline critical parts of the flexo print process and optimise pre-press activities.” He added that improved equipment use can help printers “unlock hidden potential within their businesses”.
Mr Scales will represent Heaford in the US through its collaboration with Flexo Wash US. The two companies work together to provide integrated solutions for flexographic printers.
Patrick Potter, president of Flexo Wash US, said the partnership builds on a long-standing relationship between the two companies. “Flexo Wash and Heaford share a similar commitment to excellence and efficiency, and have many mutual customers,” he said, adding that the updated agreement creates “an opportunity to deliver more complete solutions to printers”.
Heaford has been active in the US market for more than 40 years. Since 2018, the company has been supported in the region by Gregg Gayle through US Flexo Solutions, who will continue to assist during the transition period.
David Muncaster, managing director at Heaford, thanked Mr Gayle for his contribution, saying he had “worked tirelessly to strengthen our position and established long-lasting relationships with customers”.
Welcoming Mr Scales, Mr Muncaster added: “We are thrilled to have Danny join the business and take up the mantle of raising Heaford’s support in the US to even greater heights.”
