Thomas Macina (pictured), who was most recently labels business manager for EMEA at HP Indigo will place Munter, taking on the role of global sales manager for labels and flexible packaging at Durst.

Macina, whose career spanned more than 15 years, has been in his introductory phase at Durst since February and will assume his new role for the EMEA region in April.

He will then go on to assume responsibility for global sales of label and flexible packaging products in June.

Munter will continue to be involved in the transition and provide advice and support to the new management team until his retirement in the winter.

Christoph Gamper, chief executive and co-owner of Durst, says. “All of us at the Durst Group would like to thank Helmuth for his great dedication, excellent performance, and loyalty.

“At the same time, I would like to warmly welcome Thomas Macina to the Durst family. We are delighted to have gained a real market expert for the company, and someone who also has his roots in South Tyrol.

“The current pandemic situation has also been favourable to us as it has given us sufficient time to ensure an smooth transition.

“I am convinced that Thomas will continue to drive the Tau success story together with the entire label team.”
