Dagmar Schmidt Appointed President Flint Group Flexographic

Flint Group is pleased to announce the appointment of Dagmar Schmidt to President, Flexographic, with immediate effect. This appointment will ensure strategic consistency as the organisation continues on its journey to fully commercialise their innovative and market leading offering to print and packaging converters worldwide.

Dagmar joined Flint Group via BASF in 2003. Prior to her most recent CTO role, Dagmar successfully led Flint Group’s Flexible Packaging business as General Manager and prior to this she held various commercial leadership roles (including Global Key Account Management), operational and supply chain roles at Flint Group.

Antoine Fady, CEO of Flint Group, said: "I would like to thank Aryan for his important contribution to our Company over the last six years. He has re-evaluated the strategic positioning of Flexographic division and overseen the development of new products for Flint Group for HD and Thermal plates, the exciting new technology of Nano plate quality and the easy to use Catena-E system”.

I am certain that she will provide a valuable contribution in the ongoing successful development of Flint Group.”
