Kenny Tucker and Julia Kaible join FTA

Flexographic Technical Association (FTA) has reported that Kenny Tucker has joined the association as its manager of training services and Julia Kaible has joined as its creative specialist.

In his role, Tucker will engage with members regarding FTA’s elite First Certification training programs, which are industry-recognized achievements. Those who successfully complete this training are equipped with the knowledge to produce high-quality and consistent results, press run after pressure for their consumer packaging customers.

‘We are thrilled to have Kenny on board with FTA. The manager of training services is a unique position and finding someone with his industry knowledge, understanding of First Training and experience with FTA - is a major win for our members,’ said Joe Tuccitto, director of education and co-interim president of FTA. ‘In addition, he will be well-known to our members since he has been a presenter at prior FTA events. I expect him to quickly become a key resource.’

Tucker’s recent role as assistant director at the Sonoco Institute of Packaging Design and Graphics at Clemson University and prior positions at Sealed Air Corporation, and Anderson and Vreeland, give him a perspective that should resonate well with FTA members.

Kaible was with FTA as a contractor and assisted with marketing for Forum, Infloflex, and the Fall Technical Conference, creating email campaigns and marketing materials, as well as developing marketing packages.

‘It is fantastic to have Julia back with FTA in this new role. I believe her creativity and ability to think outside the box will bring a fresh new approach to our communication efforts,’ said Tuccitto. ‘She has already begun to demonstrate her innovative strategies and ability to enhance brand visibility and, the always important, member engagement.’

In her new role, Kaible will support the creation of dynamic digital content and advance the association's visual identity through innovative design approaches. She will also play a key role in the development of a new website, collaborating closely with the creative team to ensure a seamless and engaging user experience. Her efforts will be crucial in boosting the association's brand visibility and engaging industry professionals with forward-thinking creative projects.
