Filip Weymans has been named Vice President of Marketing for Xeikon, a division of Flint Group, primarily focused on developing web-fed toner presses that use LED-array-based electrophotography. Having been with Xeikon for 18 years, Weymans previously served as the company’s Director Segment Marketing Labels & Packaging.
“Xeikon was the first digital press manufacturer to bring full colour digital print to the market in the early 90s and Filip joined shortly after,” said Xeikon CEO Wim Maes. “He has watched and played an instrumental role in the phenomenal growth of the digital print market. It has now reached mainstream status due to the migration of many applications from conventional technologies to digital, as well as the broad array of new applications it has enabled.”
Xeikon states Weymans, while working in the labels and packaging market, played a major role in establishing Xeikon as the “undisputed number two in the industry for digital solutions in this space.”
“Now that we are part of the Flint Group, we will be able to even further develop the marketing department with a strong focus on our positioning and roadmap for the future,” said Weymans.
Xeikon also manufactures basysPrint computer-to-conventional plate (CtCP) systems for the commercial offset printing market. For the flexographic market, Xeikon provides digital platemaking systems under the ThermoFlexX brand name.
