The company says the appointment shows its commitment to develop and grow in the larger EU markets with a “dedicated focus coupled with required linguistic skills”, and that it will accelerate its expansion in these countries.
Ian Copsey, Media Sciences Director of Sales EMEA, stated: “With Markus’ prior experience and knowledge of the Office Products business in the D A CH markets I am confident we will now be in a good position to support and develop the distribution partners and their dealers in growing their colour supplies profits.
“It’s an exciting time for Markus to join Media Sciences as we integrate our Asian manufacturing and start to see our new product introductions gather momentum.”
Media Sciences is an independent manufacturer of new build solid ink and colour toner cartridges for office colour printers, covering most leading OEM brands.
The company announced plans to acquire Master Ink earlier in the year in a bid to enhance its production and reduce costs. It has also had financial hurdles to overcome during the year, having been delisted from the NASDAQ for falling below the $1.00 per share minimum bid price requirement.
