Bobst strengthens flexible packaging organization

The changes follow the setting up of the group’s new organization structure in 2021.

Mark McInulty has taken up the position of head of sales for flexible packaging while continuing with his role as head of the product line CI Flexo, based at Bobst Bielefeld, Germany. Mark has been instrumental in driving the commercial success of this technology since joining the company in 2017 as service sales director.

Marco Carrara has moved from zone business director for flexible packaging and label equipment and services in the Americas, Spain, and Portugal, to become technology sales director for the CI Flexo product line. He has worked for Bobst since 1987 in various management positions in the commercial and service areas.

Michele Riva has been appointed technology sales director for the gravure and lamination product lines, based at Bobst Italia. He has extensive experience as global sales and marketing director for several international companies in the digital printing industry. He joined Bobst Group in 2020 and moved to his new role from Bobst’s digital printing division.

After almost four decades of dedicated service, heading up the flexible packaging sales teams worldwide, Giovanni Caprioglio is scaling down the scope of his activities. He will continue to bring his invaluable knowledge and experience to support the commercial development of the Coating Product Line in a consultancy role.

‘The latest appointments support the execution of our strategic plan, giving impetus to Bobst’s industry transformation activities in line with the corporate vision of digitalization, automation, connectivity, and sustainability,’ commented Davide Garavaglia, general manager of Bobst Italia. ‘As the industry continues its unique transformation, we continue building a new structure to better serve the future of our customers in the flexible packaging industry.’
