Today, Reproflex3 has announced the promotions of Sumit Patil and Vijay Irudhayaraj to Head of Sales and Head of Operations respectively, within the Middle East and Africa (MEA).

The duo will expand their responsibilities to include international business development and advanced technical assistance in the region. They are supported by the R3 Global Technical Team (based in the UK) and report to R3 Co-founders Andrew Hewitson and Trevor Lowes.

“The last two years have been extremely challenging for everyone as we’ve navigated the Covid-19 pandemic and coped with uncertainty and concern for each other and our families.

“In the midst of this, we invested substantially in our new Dubai-based studio, upgrading to a bigger facility in 2021, together with significant new investment in tooling technologies, digital workflows and customer-focused delivery optimisation.  

“This is enabling us to support more flexible packaging printers and brand owners in the region, as they come to us to successfully make the switch from gravure to flexo.

“Sumit and Vijay’s commitment, thought-leadership and creativity have been essential to this success. We are pleased to announce their promotions,” said Andrew Hewitson.

“Our aim is to set our clients up for success by producing the best printing plates in the world. Our global technical infrastructure is key to building capacity so that we can optimise customer artwork development and facilitate high quality plate manufacture and print from anywhere in the world.”
