Epson Europe has a new business development manager. Paddy O’Hara will be responsible for the development of Epson’s recently launched external printhead business for OEM customers in Europe, Middle East, Africa and Russia.
O’Hara has previously worked for Xaar and Industrial Inkjet Ltd, the sales agent for Konica Minolta printheads.
Epson launched its industrial inkjet printhead business in 2019 and now offers a range of printheads. With the opening of its new printhead manufacturing operations in Hirooka, Japan, Epson is now accelerating inkjet innovation by growing its finished product business and increasing external printhead sales through new strategic partnerships. The company said it will continue to invest in its PrecisionCore technology for printheads optimised for commercial and industrial applications and create new markets by embracing open innovation in a diverse and expanding range of printing applications and for emerging areas such as electronics and bio-printing.
Duncan Ferguson, VP commercial and industrial sales for Epson Europe, said: “We are delighted to welcome Paddy O’Hara who brings a wealth of experience in the industrial printhead market across EMEAR. His extensive knowledge and technical expertise will help expand demand for Epson’s leading digital printhead technology and help forge further relationships with OEM partners across the region.”
