Baldwin Technology has appointed Joe Kline as its new president and CEO, with acting CEO Kyle Chapman continuing as the Missouri-based company’s chairman.
Prior to joining Baldwin, Kline served as the president of a division in Eaton’s electrical sector. In addition, his previous experience includes commercial leadership roles at Duke Manufacturing and Emerson.
‘After a rigorous search and vetting process, it became apparent that Joe is a perfect fit, with the vision and flexibility to lead Baldwin and to take advantage of the significant opportunity we have to serve the industry,’ said Mr Chapman. ‘Joe is a seasoned leader who is highly people-focused—which fits perfectly into both our corporate culture, and into building long-term positive relationships with customers.’
When asked about what attracted him to Baldwin, Mr Kline remarked: ‘Baldwin has an impressive and growing collection of connected technologies under one roof, and I’m excited to partner with our global organisation to bring these comprehensive solutions to our global markets and customers. I look forward to engaging with our customers around the world to strengthen our product and service capabilities, and to build upon Baldwin’s rich heritage of delivering product and service solutions that help our customers improve their operations.’
In 2019, Baldwin, a manufacturer of innovative process-automation technology for the printing, packaging and converting industries, appointed four business segment presidents: Rich Bennett at AMS Spectral UV, Tomas Anderbjer at Baldwin Precision Applications, Vince Balistrieri at Baldwin Vision Systems, and Matt Shishikura at Baldwin Japan.
