Kolbus America, Inc, a leading manufacturer of printing and converting equipment for paper-based packaging, is strengthening its sales and service departments with the addition of Ryan Clark as its new technical sales manager for the Mid-Atlantic & Northeast region. Clark begins his new position on April 19 and will report to Jeff Dietz, Kolbus America president.

Clark comes to Kolbus from AG Stacker, a leader and innovator in the design and custom manufacturing of industrial machinery for corrugated material stacking operations, where he held the position of regional sales manager for more than four years. Clark graduated from the Virginia Military Institute with a degree in economics and business. He served in the military for nearly five years as an ordnance officer and ended his service as a captain with an honorable discharge.

“We welcome Ryan to our team in a very pivotal role,” says Dietz. “He will be positioned to work directly with our customers, providing consultative and solutions-oriented support. Bringing Ryan on board is another important step as we expand our focus on creating value for our partners, beyond the equipment we sell and service.”

“I look forward to working with our customers on the amazing breadth of equipment and services that Kolbus offers,” says Clark. “My goal is to be a trusted resource for our customers who need help successfully navigating the evolving manufacturing landscape.”

Kolbus Hycorr also made additional staffing news. Within its customer service department, Kolbus has added two CSR staff members. Jim Monte is based in the corporate office in Cleveland, OH, and Stephanie Kosiba is based at the Kolbus Hycorr manufacturing facility in Kalamazoo, MI. “One of our primary goals as a manufacturer is to be a reliable resource for our customers. As we continue to invest in this area, Stephanie and Jim are two great additions to our customer service team” added Dietz.

Kolbus America, a subsidiary of Kolbus GmbH, is a leading supplier of equipment for paper-based packaging. For over 200 years, Kolbus has been delivering advanced equipment solutions for the print and packaging industries. With the acquisitions of Hycorr and Autobox, Kolbus has invested in the further development of proven technologies that service the corrugated packaging space. The Kolbus Hycorr family of flexo rotary die-cutters continue to be proudly manufactured in the USA. With the introduction of the NEW Kolbus RD Servo flexo rotary die cutters and automated Boxline for rigid box production, Kolbus again shows that Kolbus Hycorr was an early pioneer and continues to be a leader in the development of top print technology. All Kolbus equipment is supported by a large local network of North American based service personnel, along with a local parts inventory.
