Antoine Fady on January 1 assumed his new roll as Chief Executive Office of Flint Group, which is one of the world’s largest privately owned ink suppliers to the printing and packaging sectors.
While tracing it roots back to 1773 in the United Kingdom, Flint Group’s current organization was established in 2005 after the union of XSYS Print Solutions and Flint Ink Corporation. XSYS was the result of a 2004 merger between ANI and BASF Printing Systems. Flint Group now employs around 7,300 people worldwide and in 2009 generated revenues of US$ 2.9 billion.
Fady most recently served as GM of Akzo Nobel Decorative Paints-Europe and previously held the CEO position with ICI Packaging & Coatings. He is to succeed Charles Knott, who oversaw the 2007 acquisition of Day International. Knott is to continue on with Flint as Chairman.
Following Fady’s appointment, Mario Busshoff was promoted as President of Flint Group’s Flexographic Products division, which places him on the company’s Executive Management Team, directly reporting to Fady.
