Openshaw makes a splash with MAN Ferrostaal inks

Appointment of Dean Openshaw as sales manager consumables for MAN Ferrostaal New Zealand is the latest movement in the company's growth in the ink market.

Openshaw (pictured) will be responsible for developing and expanding the New Zealand Consumables business continuing to provide quality products and services to the New Zealand printing industry. He is already well known in the New Zealand printing industry and has built solid relationships over a 30-year period specialising in consumables.

Ben Hartman, general manager consumables for MAN Ferrostaal Australia welcomed him onboard. “Dean was the ideal candidate for the position, his experience and knowledge of the New Zealand marketplace will be a benefit to our customers and to us, we welcome Dean to our team,” Hartman said.

Last month, MAN Ferrostaal was also appointed distributor of the of Hostmann Steinberg inks throughout Australia and New Zealand.

According to Ray Toal, managing director at Hostmann Steinberg, the decision to appoint MAN Ferrostaal as distributors last month was a result of the company’s diverse product range.

“We wanted to have a distributor that was able to offer different solutions to our customers,” he said. “MAN Ferrostaal appealed to us because they deal in so many different areas from consumables through to equipment; they offer a complete solution for customers which we couldn’t offer so we saw it as quite attractive.”
