Christian Schwarze, who previously worked for the big players Heidelberger Druckmaschinen, NexPress and Kodak, is to assume responsibility for worldwide sales at GMG.
Tuebingen (May 6, 2008) - GMG, supplier of high-end color management and proofing solutions, announces that Christian Schwarze is immediately taking up the duties of worldwide Sales Director of the company. He previously held a variety of positions in marketing and sales at Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG, NexPress GmbH and Kodak GmbH. In his new capacity, Mr. Schwarze will be responsible for sales activities of GMG around the globe.
"Having spent more than ten years working in the graphic arts industry, Christian Schwarze is thoroughly familiar with every aspect of the industry. As a target-oriented, strategically thinking executive, he has always worked in an international environment in the past, and spent almost four years at NexPress and Heidelberg in the USA," says Robert Weihing, CEO of GMG GmbH & Co. KG. "This experience will be of great benefit to GMG, since GMG's international orientation will increase even further in the future. We are convinced that Mr. Schwarze can quickly and efficiently help us to expand our market position."
"GMG already has a good position in the market today, and the company is growing steadily. Our aim is to consolidate and expand this position. It is an attractive challenge for me to have the chance to quickly make a major impact in a medium-sized company," says Christian Schwarze. "Being the biggest event in the industry, I expect the forthcoming Drupa to give me plenty of impetus for the rest of the year and the tasks in hand."
