Miraclon, home of KODAK FLEXCEL Solutions, has announced plans to open a third Flexo HUB based in Oakdale, Minnesota. The new Flexo HUB will reportedly allow cus- tomers, partners and industry stakeholders based in North and South America local access to KODAK FLEXCEL NX Technology demonstrations, training and networking events. “With our hubs positioned across the globe – one representing the Asia region in Shanghai, China, and the other co-located in Europe with Miraclon’s corporate headquarters in Brussels, Belgium - Mira- clon is well positioned to collaborate with custom- ers, partners and stakeholders in the flexo indus- try from a truly global, yet local perspective”, said Grant Blewett, Miraclon Chief Commercial Officer. Miraclon appointed Charles Schoen as Flexo HUB Manager, Americas to oversee the HUB construc- tion and with responsibility for all Flexo HUB tech- nology demonstrations and training activities. He brings more than 30 years of flexo platemaking and managerial experience to the role. The Miraclon Flexo HUB, Americas, will officially open later this year.
