A new CEO for Comexi

Comexi, a global supplier of solutions for the printing and flexible packaging industry transformation, has appointed Diego Hervás as the new CEO of Comexi from 1st January, 2020. Hervás, who was born in Barcelona and has extensive executive experience (Plyzer Technologies, Xerox Corporation), replaces Jeroen van der Meer, who had held the position since 2014 and who will continue to be involved with Comexi to ensure as efficient a transition as possible.

This appointment of an independent member of the board of the company until is a clear commitment to the promotion of innovation and technology. In 2019, after closing the loss-making rotogravure unit in Italy, the company managed to return to profits despite the economic slowdown in the market.

The signs of the flexible packaging sector are good, as shown by the last K Fair in Dusseldorf, held more than two months ago, where Comexi closed the sale of eight machines. Talks were also established for 50 new projects with several global companies.

Throughout the days of the fair, as a novelty, visitors were able to directly test the operation of Smart Glasses, a technology that allows real-time remote communication with the exchange of images between the customer and Comexi engineers. Another global innovation was the Comexi Cloud, the new digital platform that allows analysis of the production process, control and optimisation of costs and materials, and placing orders online for spare parts.
