Dagmar Schmidt appointed President Flint Group Flexographic

Flint Group is pleased to announce the appointment of Dagmar Schmidt to President, Flexographic, with immediate effect.

This appointment will ensure strategic consistency as the organisation continues on its journey to fully commercialise their innovative and market leading offering to print and packaging converters worldwide.

Dagmar joined Flint Group via BASF in 2003.

Antoine Fady, CEO of Flint Group, said: "I would like to thank Aryan for his important contribution to our Company over the last six years. He has re-evaluated the strategic positioning of Flexographic division and overseen the development of new products for Flint Group for HD and Thermal plates, the exciting new technology of Nano plate quality and the easy to use Catena-E system.”

Speaking about the appointment Steve Dryden COO, Flint Group, commented: "We are delighted with the appointment of Dagmar to president of the Flexographic division, where she will continue to drive her strong passion for innovation and building high performing teams. This appointment is yet another example of a key appointment being made from within the Flint Group business – which is always pleasing to see.

Dagmar is more than familiar with the business having worked closely with the division in her Transformation lead role and prior to that as General Manager for the Flexible Packaging Ink business. I am certain that she will provide a valuable contribution in the ongoing successful development of Flint Group.”

Dagmar Schmidt said: "I am delighted to be taking on this new challenge in what is an exciting period for the organisation and I now look forward to immersing fully in the business and working with the team to ensure that we deliver our strategy.”
