Management changes at EyeC

Global provider of print image inspections EyeC has promoted Markus Fietkau to sales director. He took over from Ralph Beier, who, in his new role as business development director, will focus exclusively on the operational and strategic development of the company.

With over 30 years of experience in technically demanding sales, Markus Fietkau has played a vital role in developing EyeC's global sales organization since October.

Fietkau began his professional career after graduating from high school with an apprenticeship as an industrial clerk and expanded his knowledge with a degree in business administration. 

Before joining EyeC as a global account manager in April 2017, he worked in sales at a northern German printing company for four years. He then spent a further ten years in the field of pharmaceutical logistics.

Most recently, he was deputy sales director at EyeC, looking after global customers and interested parties from the print sector and supporting the sales team in all matters.

In his new position, Fietkau will be responsible for the company's global sales activities and will work closely with sales partners to drive EyeC's further development.

Fietkau took over from Ralph Beier, who assumed the position of business development director after more than six successful years as head of sales at EyeC. Beier brings over 40 years of experience in technology and many years of work in the printing industry. The move will see the internationally experienced manager concentrate on expanding special projects, products, and markets and identifying strategic business opportunities.

'We are delighted to welcome Markus Fietkau as the new sales director at EyeC,' says Dr Ansgar Kaupp, managing director of EyeC. 'Together with Ralph Beier in the position of business development director, we now have two experienced executives with a strong entrepreneurial track record who have already been able to profitably establish numerous national and international sales strategies in the market thanks to their valuable expertise and passion for sales. This is the best basis for making a valuable contribution to the continued success of EyeC.'

With the personnel changes at the management level, EyeC is focusing on its commitment to continuous growth and enhancing its position as one of the world's leading artwork verification and print image inspection companies.
