UK-based UV curing systems manufacturer GEW has appointed Jan Jonissek as sales manager, Germany.

Mr Jonissek will initially focus on northern Germany and will be based near Hamburg. According to the company, the appointment is intended to strengthen regional coverage and support the existing GEW D-A-CH team, which is based near Stuttgart in southern Germany.

He joins GEW after ten years with Hoenle AG and its subsidiary Eltosch Grafix, where he specialised in project management and sales of LED curing systems. Mr Jonissek joined Eltosch Grafix as a project manager in 2016, overseeing complex international projects and working with global partners. In 2021, he became a key account manager, with responsibility for developing and expanding a key OEM partnership in the sheetfed and web offset printing sector.

In his new role, Mr Jonissek will oversee regional sales activities across a range of applications, including label and web printing and converting, sheetfed and web offset printing, as well as industrial and specialist UV projects.

Robert Rae, managing director of GEW, said: “We are delighted to have Jan working with us and we welcome him to GEW. His breadth of knowledge and experience tells us he will be a perfect addition to the team, and his sales background is very well aligned with GEW’s leadership in LED curing systems for flexographic and offset printing markets. He has sound expertise in technical sales and negotiation, alongside his experience in customer-focused product development and in building strong client relationships.”
