On Jan. 1, 2021, Andree Bölkow takes over the management of easy inks gmbh.
“I am very much looking forward to steering this healthy and dynamic company easy inks gmbh into the future,” Bölkow said. “easy inks gmbh has been characterized by constant growth in recent years despite, at times, difficult market conditions. Its in-house ink production 'Made in Germany' in Denzlingen has enabled the company to develop a large number of new and successful products. Building on this, I want to continue to tap into new segments and markets alongside the experienced team in the future.”
He began his career at a dental products manufacturer.
In 2000 he relocated to Neuss, initially as a product manager for industrial adhesives at 3M Deutschland.
Over the next two decades there, he held posts in a variety of business segments with increasing levels of responsibility.
Bölkow recently served as business unit leader Commercial Graphic Films DACH.
“High-quality inks produced in accordance with European standards are at least as important as the films on which they are printed for achieving an excellent result,” he said. “Thanks to its on-site manufacturing, with the inks produced by easy inks gmbh, end-users are able to rely not only on formulations which adhere to environmental and occupational safety standards but also on a stable supply chain. These are benefits which only easy inks gmbh is able to offer in Germany, and which will continue to gain greatly in significance over the coming years.”
Easy inks gmbh founder Lothar Diebold will step down from the company at the end of the year.
"I will always have a special place in my heart for digital printing,” Diebold said. “After all, I have spent well over 20 years of my working life in this dynamic industry. Alongside my team, I have also perhaps contributed to a small degree to its success. The next few years are certain to be equally challenging. However, I believe that with Andree Bölkow at the helm, easy inks gmbh will have a leader who can guide the company to further growth in the future. I wish him and easy inks gmbh all the best for the future.”
