KBA names Andrew Pang as new UK MD

German press manufacturer Koenig & Bauer (KBA) has appointed Andrew Pang to succeed the outgoing Christian Knapp as managing director of its wholly-owned subsidiary KBA (UK) Ltd.

Pang joined KBA in 2007 as sheet-fed service director and went on to launch the approved consumables division, PressConsum.

Earlier this year he returned to his service director role following internal reorganization.

Knapp (pictured, standing) said: ‘Andrew is taking the reins of a very successful UK operation with its continued focus on customer satisfaction.

‘He joined us six years ago to complement an already strong management team and the decision to recruit from within demonstrates KBA's priority on building and sustaining long term relationships here in the UK and in Ireland.

Pang (pictured, seated) added: ‘Having been a KBA customer helped me to understand the printer’s demands of their press suppliers – both in terms of everyday support and as a long-term business partner.

‘In the very difficult trading conditions we face today I am acutely aware that we have to constantly look at the way we respond to our customers’ demands in order to provide a tailored product and service.’
