Kissel + Wolf Australia executive director of sales and service – digital Jon Field said, “There is no substitute for experience, knowledge and a strong customer focus. Bruce has these attributes in spades. I am personally delighted to welcome Bruce to the sales team, and I look forward to working closely with him to offer our customers a strategic competitive advantage in the sustainable, short-run, corrugated packaging market”.
“I am genuinely delighted to be joining the Kissel + Wolf team. After an enjoyable and relaxing 12 months sabbatical from the print industry I feel refreshed, invigorated, and excited to be part of this progressive and customer focused global family company. I look forward to re-engaging with the ANZ print market armed with an impressive product portfolio and an extensive local technical support team,” said Caldwell.
“One of my first priorities is to challenge the paradigm that exists around the origins of manufacturing when it comes to quality and reliability. The current suite of product offerings is world class, robust and deliver real value and quantifiable returns on customer investment. With the inclusion of the Kyocera and Ricoh print heads I am confident that companies (large or small) considering a digital press investment will be taking a very close look at the Hanglory, Hanway and HandTop technologies.
“Coupled with flexible and accessible financing options, a locally managed team with a “customer first credo” it positions Kissel + Wolf as a very viable and invested partner for the future. I look forward to being back in the front lines and sharing information with the market in 2024,” he added.
Kissel + Wolf Australia says this announcement marks the beginning of a series of ground-breaking developments at the company, which confirms that there will be more exciting news and innovations in the new year, as it pushes the boundaries of what’s possible in the print and packaging Industry.
