Roland Geiselhart was appointed Director of the Print + Packaging business unit on 1 February of this year. In this position, the 59-year-old trained book printer and printing technician is primarily responsible for the domestic and international further development of water-based flexographic and gravure printing inks for the areas of tissue, flexible packaging (paper and board, aluminium and foil) and gift wrap.
Roland Geiselhart has more than 20 years of international sales experience in various positions in the printing ink industry, including at Hostmann-Steinberg and ACTEGA Colorchemie. Most recently, he was responsible for sales in the DACH and Benelux regions in the Paper + Board division at Flint Group as Regional Sales Director.
“I am pleased to be able to bring my experience in the field of printing inks to a family business that is very concerned with sustainability,” said Roland Geiselhart. “Together with my dedicated team, I am keen to further advance our environmentally friendly water-based printing inks.” Dr Joerg Seubert, Managing Director at Follmann, is also looking forward to the collaboration: “Roland Geiselhart not only has many years of international management experience, but also boasts excellent technical expertise and is therefore ideally suited to this position.”
Of course, Roland Geiselhart will also be at the Follmann stand at this year’s drupa fair (Hall 3, Stand C50).
