Christian Flögel
Flögel has joined Printlife after a 15-year career in the aftermarket, including three years as a Business Development Manager at Static Control and seven years as a General Manager at InkTec. The company noted that he has gained “extensive experience in different sales channels” before taking up his new role at Printlife, which states it is an “emerging company” in the industry.
The company, which has been in existence since 2006, became a GmbH this year for “a more stable base in Germany”, and has three production plants based in Drumersheim staffed by 25 employees, with an annual production capacity of 240,000 toner cartridges. Printllife also describes itself as a “pure outsourcing operation for other recyclers and trading companies with their own brands. We do not have any own brand[s] and we are not dealing in [the] B2C business”.
Flögel commented: “Printlife was my next logical step in the industry. It is a company in [my] home [town] Baden, and the convincing quality of our products [was] known to me for a long time.” He will work alongside Managing Director Pascal Kaindl and Business Development Manager Antonion Perales – who is based in Barcelona – to support customers from southern Europe.
Kaindl also stated: “Our strength is the speed in our R&D, therefore we need to have qualified sales people to communicate this with our customer network.“ Printlife noted that it is also “working closely with a big manufacturer of components”, and “strongly” respects others’ intellectual property, with some of its cartridges certified under the Blue Angel, LGA and Nordic Swan accreditations, and new models including replacements for the CS and CX originals.
