Please welcome Frank Kirsch, our new Sales Manager for Vanguard Europe. Many will know Frank as Sales Manager for Durst Germany, a position he had held for the past two years, which followed many years’ experience in the industry.

“This is a fantastic opportunity,” said Frank. “I am looking ahead to what is an important development cycle for Vanguard Europe as we continue to make our presence felt in the important markets we cover in the LFP and graphics segments.
Fabian Sottsas, Managing Director of Vanguard Europe, said: “Frank brings a world of experience in digital printing and demonstrable expertise in true flatbed and roll-to-roll UV LED production solutions. His appointment is another important strategic step forward as we continue to grow profitable business together in the markets we serve.”
