Kodak grows packaging presence in North America

The new organization will work to generate and drive sales for the Kodak Flexcel Direct System, Prinergy Powerpack workflow tool, brand protection solutions, Design2Launch products, inkjet technology and other functional printing applications.

The Special Operations Group also will support existing packaging team members with their efforts to grow the Flexcel NX System user base.

Nick Brunk is to assume a new role as sales and marketing development manager for packaging and functional printing, and will be joined by new Kodak team member Marshall Hogenson, who will be the sales and marketing development manager for packaging.

Together, Brunk and Hogenson have 26 years of experience selling leading pre-press solutions into packaging and security printing markets, which serve brand owners, trade shops and printers.

Dr John Anderson, Kodak’s packaging segment sales and product marketing director in the US and Canada, said: ‘This new team plays a critical role in our plan to grow more quickly and more broadly into packaging as well as further position Kodak as a knowledgeable and experienced packaging sales leader.

‘We are focused on providing disruptive and leading solutions into flexo, security, pre-press, workflow and brand owner communications, digital print, and future functional printing applications. Our customers will benefit from the expertise this new team represents.’
