Dantex has appointed Andy Abbott as its new director of operations. 

Mr Abbott officially transitioned from the position of UK sales director in October and has since ensured the transfer of part of his past responsibilities to his colleagues. During his 17 years with the company, he has been involved with letterpress as well as flexo products and, lately, with sleeves and the Pico range of digital presses.

The British company has also announced the appointment of Simon Cosh, who will head up the relief plate division. Mr Cosh will now be responsible for the development of the consumable business and will also continue in his role of business development manager. 

Both individuals bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to their new roles.
