Thomas S Andersen, CEO, FIG, said “FIG has proactively managed its portfolio over the last 13 years through one company with its base in New Delhi. Our decision to restructure into two independent companies is a natural progression of our strategy to cover a larger area for our partners. We believe that creating two companies will enable the management of each company to have greater focus on the success factors in the different territorial areas.”
“The creation of two independent companies will deliver meaningful benefits to each of the businesses, the markets in which we operate, and all our customers,” he further added.
IM Shelvam will be the managing director of Flexo Image Graphics, MEA with plans of a office in Dubai in the pipeline. “In this new role, I will be responsible for all FIG business in the Arabian and Persian gulf, as well as in East and West Africa, including sales and after-sales services of Mark Andy presses and Rotoflex finishing solutions, both in a direct sales role as well as through the company's strong distributor network. I know the challenges are huge but we have the strengths and proven capabilities to succeed,” said Shelvam.
Flexo Image Graphics, ISC will be led by Gourav Roy as a managing director, he said, 'Since our inception in India, we’ve come further than we could have possibly imagined. The impact we have collectively made in the labelling industry has been undeniable and I am inspired to better streamline our services so that our customers can be even better equipped to offer superior and faster services to their customers. This is what we do today, and that is what we’ll do tomorrow.”
