Koenig & Bauer has appointed Peter Andrich, currently CEO of its Italian business, as the new CEO of its CI flexo printing subsidiary Koenig & Bauer Flexotecnica S.p.A.. He takes over from Luigi Magliochi in that role, who is to retire.
Mr Andrich has more than 25 years’ experience in sales and management and has been CEO of Koenig & Bauer (IT) since 2018. His new role as CEO of company’s flexo business is in addition to this longstanding responsibility. Both parts of the business are based in Italy.
‘We thank Luigi Magliochi for his outstanding contribution. He has steered Koenig & Bauer Flexotecnica safely through local and global changes and challenges since 2020 and leaves the company well positioned for the future,’ said Christoph Müller, Koenig & Bauer board member. ‘We believe that now is the right time to leverage synergies between the two Koenig & Bauer companies in Italy. Koenig & Bauer (IT) will – as part of the new Group-wide sales strategy – focus on the sale of various Koenig & Bauer products as well as product-specific service.’
Mr Andrich added: ‘I am looking forward to continuing the strategic development of our market in the flexo printing solutions sector and to developing and implementing sophisticated sales and service strategies tailored to our customers in Italy. In doing so, we will further intensify our competencies in cooperation with (Koenig & Bauer headquarters) Würzburg. Our customers will benefit from our continuous development and our strong brand.’
