Domino has named Lloyd Kent as its new senior sales manager for corrugated, digital printing, North America.
Mr Kent brings more than 30 years of experience to the position. His career includes roles as sales development manager, national and regional sales manager, and regional market director. Mr Kent spent around a decade at Diagraph, providing coding, marking and labelling options to brand owners for their products and packaging. In the two decades since then, he has worked with EFI, HP and Bobst, in positions where he was responsible for sales of digital and traditional corrugated printing machinery.
At Bobst, Mr Kent spent 15 years selling corrugated and folding carton machinery throughout the US. In more recent years, he has been providing both single-pass and multi-pass digital technologies to the corrugated industry with HP and EFI.
Domino has recently entered the market for inkjet digital corrugated printing with the introduction of the X630i digital aqueous inkjet corrugated press. It has also appointed Dale Rawhoof as its new technical product manager, corrugated, and Shane Govert as product manager, digital printing, North America. These appointments, and that of Mr Kent, strengthen Domino’s position in the burgeoning market for digital corrugated printing.
Mr Kent said, ‘I am excited to join Domino with the responsibility of debuting a new digital single-pass printer, the X630i, to an industry I have been involved with for over 20 years. Domino is a remarkable global organisation, but it truly feels and acts like a smaller company, being able to pivot and react quickly. The X630i is a new machine, and the technology is proven with many installations in the label printing industry.
‘Domino places great emphasis on listening to our customers and this shows with offerings like our in-house leasing program, trade-in/trade-up capabilities, water-based AQ95 inks, and local service teams throughout North America. Most companies looking into digital print have been craving most, if not all, of these offerings over the past several years. I believe a strong company behind the equipment you install is most critical, and my job is to facilitate the interactions ensuring a positive and successful relationship.’
Bill Myers, marketing manager at Domino Digital Printing North America, said, ‘I worked with Lloyd over 20 years ago, in the mid-to-late 1990s. He is a consummate professional, excellent with customers, and a solution provider, highly dependable, very considerate; just a great guy, and someone you want on your team.’
