Esko appoints new GM for Latin America

Da Silva will be responsible for managing the commercial, support, and financial performance of the Latin American business, operating from the company’s offices in São Paulo, Brazil.

The new GM has 35 years of experience in the printing industry, spending 32 in Latin America. He spent 19 years in markets development with Eastman Kodak, Atlantic Zeiser, and X-Rite, where he was instrumental in launching the brand, products, and technology. He spent the next 12 years with AVT, expanding market penetration and product recognition in the packaging, labels, and metal markets.

‘This last year, I have had the privilege of leading the Esko team as sales director for the North Cone, where we have successfully integrated AVT sales in the region,’ commented Juan da Silva. ‘I am delighted to now take on the role of general manager at what continues to be a very exciting time for the business, with a clear focus on delivering innovations that support our customers along their digital transformation journey.

‘I am looking forward to supporting the region as we look to expand our foothold in the flexo market with Esko Crystal technology and continuing to demonstrate the incredible benefits our customers can enjoy with the comprehensive AVT inspection system. As I will retain my responsibilities as North Cone sales director, I am also looking forward to continuing working with the talented team to drive sales and support, unlock new software opportunities and improve channel management.’
