David Wilkins to Lead Xeikon's North American Growth

Xeikon has boosted its North American growth strategy with the appointment of David Wilkins as vice president of sales and marketing for the United States and Canada.

Previously, Wilkins served as vice president of JV Imaging Solutions, a distributor of digital imaging, solvent processing and photopolymer plates to the web and mid-web flexographic printing market. While there, he was responsible for all sales, customer service and operations throughout the United States.

Wilkins' previous roles include national sales manager for MacDermid Printing Solutions and district manager/vice president of sales for the Pitman Company. He also worked in sales for the printing and publishing markets for Intergraph Corp. and as product marketing manager/national sales director for Gerber Scientific Instrument.

In his new role he will spearhead growth in the United States and Canada, reporting directly to Xeikon CEO Wim Maes.

“We welcome Dave to our team and look forward to expanding the reach of our leading edge technology through his visionary market approach,” Maes said. ”Thanks to his wealth of experience and achievements, from leading Pitman’s efforts to introduce ink sales and create pressroom programs to improve overall growth, to realigning MacDermid’s sales and technical support team to better achieve corporate goals and objectives, we are confident that he will set Xeikon on a clear path to growth.”
