Domino X630i digital ink jet corrugated press

After diversifying into the corrugated sector in June 2020 with the launch of its X630i digital ink jet corrugated press and AQ95 aqueous ink set, Domino digital printing solutions recently announced three key appointments to strengthen its dedicated corrugated team. The team, led by Matt Condon, will support the sales drive of this press in Europe, North America and Canada, and includes two experienced new appointments and a new role for Dale Rawhoof.

Domino has a long history of developing and manufacturing digital ink jet technology, introducing its first ink jet printers back in 1978. After launching into the label printing sector in 2012, Domino is now a digital ink jet press enterprise. The recent introduction of the X630i single pass corrugated press marks Domino’s first step into the digital corrugated box printing sector.

Leading Domino’s digital corrugated team is business development manager, Matt Condon. With ten years’ digital printing experience performing product management and oem manager roles, Matt is pleased to lead Domino’s move into this new sector. Matt says, “Domino has had a lot of success with its digital label printing technology over the years – taking that experience and knowledge and supplementing it with these two individuals with a wealth of experience in the corrugated sector will very much help us move forward into this new market segment, both in Europe and North America.”

Ben Ginesi joins Domino as the European sales manager for digital corrugated packaging, after spending 18 years at HSG, where he held various senior positions. With significant production knowledge in digital corrugated ink jet, Ben is looking forward to presenting Domino’s X630i to the UK and European commercial markets. “I’m delighted to be embarking on a new career chapter with Domino,” says Ben. “It’s a growing sector and my role is to help support Domino’s customers’ understanding of what can be achieved with both long and short run applications. Domino’s culture, one of education and dedication to its customers, coupled with its expertise in digital ink jet makes the company a perfect match for me.”

Lloyd Kent joins Domino as senior sales manager for corrugated, digital printing North America. With over two decades’ experience in the corrugated sector, Lloyd has held senior sales positions at EFI, HP and Bobst, where he was responsible for sales of digital and traditional corrugated printing equipment. “The X630i is a new and impressive machine, and the technology incorporated within it is already proven in the digital label printing sector, where Domino has a substantial presence,” says Lloyd.

With over 31 years of combined experience with applications, project & product management in Domino’s digital printing North America division, Dale Rawhoof moves to become the technical product manager for Domino’s corrugated division. Dale says, “I am excited to be involved in moving Domino into a new market segment and working with new customers using the proven Domino Generation 6 ink jet technology.”

Matt concludes, “Lloyd and Ben both offer extensive knowledge of the corrugated sector, and Dale has been with Domino for many years – his understanding of our digital printing technology will also be crucial to our future success.”

Packaging South Asia — resilient, growing and impactful — daily, monthly — always responsive

The multi-channel B2B in print and digital 17-year-old platform matches the industry’s growth trajectory. The Indian, South Asian, Southeast Asian, and Middle East packaging industries are looking beyond the resilience of the past three years. They are resuming capacity expansion and diversification, with high technology and automation in new plants and projects.

As we present our 2024 publishing plan, India’s real GDP growth for the financial year ending 31 March 2024 will exceed 6%. The packaging industry growth will match the GDP growth in volume terms and surpass it by at least 3% in terms of nominal growth allowing for price inflation in energy, raw materials, consumables, and capital equipment.

The capacity for flexible film manufacturing in India increased by 45% over the past four years. With orders in place, we expect another 20% capacity addition in 2024 and 2025. Capacities in monocartons, corrugation, aseptic liquid packaging, and labels are grown similarly. As the consumption story returns over the next six months, we expect demand to return and exceed the growth trajectory of previous years. The numbers are positive for most of the economies in the region – and as shown by our analytics, our platform increasingly reaches and influences these.

For responsible and sustainable packaging, with its attendant regulations and compliances, there is significant headroom to grow in India and the region. Our coverage includes the entire packaging supply chain – from concept to shelf and to waste collection, sorting, and recycling.

We target brand owners, product managers, raw material suppliers, packaging designers and converters, and recyclers. This is a large and complex canvas – the only thing that can work is your agile thinking and innovation together with our continuous learning and persistence.

The coming year looks to be an up year in this region, and this is the right time to plan your participation and marketing communication – in our rich and highly targeted business platform with human resources on the ground. Share your thoughts and plans and to inspire and mobilize our editorial and advertising teams!
