Flexo Concepts Welcomes Arnoud de Jong to Its International Business Development Team

Plymouth, MA - January 16, 2019. 

To follow-up a year where the company earned critical acclaim for its export activities (receiving two prestigious awards and grant funding for the fifth time), Flexo Concepts will start 2019 with a new addition to its international business development team – Arnoud de Jong.

As an International Business Development Manager, Arnoud will be responsible for growing and servicing the company’s TruPoint® doctor blade business in northern Europe. He will be based in his home country, the Netherlands, and brings a wide range of strategic capabilities to his new role – a good sense for the European flexo industry, a strong marketing background and proficient language skills in Dutch, English and German.

The international sales team currently includes two other business development managers - Bernat Ferrete is based in Spain and is responsible for southern Europe, as well as the LATAM and EMEA regions, and Steve Kao covers Asia from his office in Taiwan. “We recognize the importance of having people in the field who understand the regional markets,” said Kevin McLaughlin, Flexo Concepts’ CEO. “By having employees who speak the native languages and are intimately familiar with local cultures and business practices, we are better equipped to meet the needs of the industry.”

Arnoud has acquired over 20 years’ experience in the flexo printing industry during his career. Most recently, he served as General Manager of the Consumables Division at another industry supplier in Europe. Before that, he “earned his stripes” by ascending the ranks at tesa - a  leading manufacturer of pressure sensitive adhesives for the paper and print market. Arnoud hails from the Holland region of the Netherlands, where he lives with his wife and two daughters. He jokes that he will be able to wear his orange Flexo Concepts shirt on April 27th, when the Dutch sport the country's national color to celebrate "Koningsdag" (King's Day)!
