Screen Europe has appointed Juan Cano as director business development flexible packaging, to lead and expand its new flexible packaging digital printing division.
This is Screen’s third digital printing division - other two being the Truepress Jet 520HD platform of commercial printers and the Truepress Jet L350UV platform of inkjet label presses. Earlier this year, Screen announced the launch in 2021 of its Truepress PAC 830F, a water-based inkjet digital printing press specifically designed for the flexible packaging industry and the cornerstone of its new flexible packaging printing division.
With the Truepress PAC 830F, Screen said it is responding to the growing demand for technology that allows printing short runs with a much lower production cost than analogue printing systems. In addition to the CMYK printheads, the printing engine provides a heavy white inkjet coverage that is said to achieve a high level of opacity on clear PET and BOPP film substrates.
Bui Burke, senior VP sales Screen Europe, said of Cano’s appointment: “Juan has a proven track record in business development and sustainable sales growth of high-value, innovative packaging equipment. His experience and stature make him the right person to help expand our newly established flexible packaging digital printing platform.”
Cano worked in several senior positions, including at Bobst, before joining Screen. And holds a MBA from Oxford Brookes University.
