Long-time Heidelberg employee, Jurgen Krufczyk, moves over to FUJIFILM as national business manager.

FUJIFILM Australia Managing Director, Dave Marshall, said Krufczyk (pictured) has extensive graphics industry expertise gained both nationally and internationally.

“With our significant growth expectations for FUJIFILM Graphic Systems, Krufczyk comes equipped with a strong pre-press and press background that will help drive the business accordingly,” Marshall said.

“Highly regarded among his peers, Krufczyk previously worked for Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG for the past 18 years.”
