Kornit appoints new key account manager EMEA

Johan Spies has been appointed to the position of key account manager EMEA for Kornit, which is seen as an important step forward as Kornit continues to grow its customer base and adopt leading businesses in the digital garment and textile sectors.

Mr Spies will concentrate on the company’s major clients involved both in direct to garment printing and the growing market for roll-to-roll production. Formerly he was senior product manager EMEA at Mimaki Europe BV and, prior to that, he was channel sales development manager for Northern Europe for EFI, following a period in the position of product marketing manager with the company.

The move by Mr Spies to Kornit Digital is designed to fill the role for a highly experienced market expert that understands the digital print arena and the role played by Kornit’s NeoPigment technology both in the garment and roll textile segments. The importance of looking after its client base and ensuring that the highest levels of contact and communication are maintained are critical to Kornit, with key accounts now growing in significance among the company’s clients.

Mr Spies will be responsible for directing full business development encompassing hardware, software and consumables, working with customers on analysis and assessments of current and future requirements, and investigating new technology options and opportunities. His long-term experience in the digital printing arena will be invaluable to Kornit Digital for its continued growth plans and his combination of technical skills and marketing knowledge will be instrumental to the company’s continued success.
