Agfa Graphics chief sees promising future in inkjet
Dec 17, 2008
President of Agfa Graphics and member of the executive committee Stefaan Vanhooren has expressed a degree of pessimism about current and future conditions for the global graphics industry at a press conference in Sydney this morning.
Agfa Graphics will eventually split away from its Health division sibling, he said. The company had found when it tried to split the company into three divisions recently that each division was deeply interwoven with the others, and it had so far been impossible to split them, but “one day it would happen.
“They are completely separate businesses, with no synergies”, he added.
In other Agfa news, the company’s relocation to Osborne Park in Western Australia is complete. The new address is Unit 2/63 Waters Drive, Osborne Park.
Agfa’s sales manager for Queensland and Western Australia, Gavin Hartslief, said, “The move to more modern premises and the fact Osborne Park is geographically central to our Perth customer base makes good sense.”
Long-time Agfa employee Gary Illing will take up the senior Perth-based sales role, having relocated to Perth from Melbourne some time ago to support Agfa’s newspaper business.
