Former Ferrostaal GM Print & Finishing for Australia/New Zealand, Rayne Simpson, has joined Currie Group.
The well-known industry identity left Ferrostaal in June last year and some time later was approached by Currie Group to take up the role of business development manager for NSW.
"It's a fantastic company and I'm excited about the opportunity," said Simpson, who started his new job with Currie Group in Sydney last month. "My main focus is HP Indigo sheetfed digital presses and it's certainly a part of the industry that is growing both in the local market here in Australia and New Zealand, and globally, with HP being the largest exhibitor at drupa this year for the first time."
Simpson said the switch from selling Komori offset presses at Ferrostaal to HP Indigo digital presses for Curries is a challenge he's embraced.
"Digital print is a very different process to offset but it's still ink on paper. The proven Indigo quality and versatility, the special substrate capabilities, its productivity and its unique digital offset technology compared to other digital processes certainly excites me. I've only been here for just over a month and there is much more to learn but it's clear that Currie Group is growing significantly and I look forward to the challenges ahead."
