Filip Weymans promoted as VP marketing for Xeikon

Xeikon has promoted Filip Weymans to vice president marketing. Previously serving in the role of director – segment marketing, labels & packaging, Weymans has been with Xeikon for 18 years. During that time, he has driven growth, supported significant change in emerging market sectors and helped ambitious customer companies change their approach to embrace the opportunities presented by digital print.

“Xeikon was the first digital press manufacturer to bring full colour digital print to the market in the early nineties and Filip joined shortly after,” states Wim Maes, CEO, Xeikon. “He has watched and played an instrumental role in the phenomenal growth of the digital print market. Now Filip will apply what he has learnt to the broader responsibilities he will have in this new role.”

Over the past few years, Weymans has focused on the labels and packaging market, bringing Xeikon to an undisputed number two in the industry for digital solutions in this space. Weymans says, “Now that we are part of the Flint Group, we will be able to even further develop the marketing department with a strong focus on our positioning and roadmap for the future.
