EskoArtwork has reinforced its presence in the Nordic market with the appointment of Karsten Nygård as the company's new Regional Business Manager Nordic, responsible for sales, service and support operations. He previously managed EskoArtwork's customer service and support functions in Central and Eastern Europe, as well as the Nordic region, managing a multi-country team of field technicians and operators.

Karsten Nygård has been in the graphic arts industry for 22 years, the last 12 of which have been in management roles primarily related to customer service and support. He began his career at Purup-Eskofot, an early leader and innovator in commercial, newspaper, printing and packaging markets. In 2001, the company became part of what is now EskoArtwork and throughout this time, Karsten Nygård held different positions within the company building up his experience.

"I'm looking forward to building on the close relationships we already have with our customers," comments Karsten Nygård. "We have a very flexible and motivated team of talented people in service, support and sales, Direct and Indirect Channels, capable of responding quickly to customer requirements. With strong backing from our headquarters in Belgium, and a broad portfolio of unique solutions that can truly boost quality and efficiency, I'm excited to take on the responsibility for the Nordic region."

Armand Gougay, Vice President Sales and Marketing EMEALA, added: "We are very happy to have Karsten moving up to assume these new responsibilities. Based on our successful start in 2010, the Nordic region is now adding staff to its sales and service team. When this expanded workforce is fully in place, EskoArtwork will have an even stronger local presence – better able to promote, deliver, service and support our best-in-class packaging, commercial printing and sign & display solutions.
