With extensive experience in the industry and previously serving as EMEA Director for Phoseon Technology, Karsten’s new role positions Excelitas at the forefront of advanced curing and drying solutions for the print sector. His leadership comes at a pivotal time as the company strengthens its presence in UV, UV LED, Infrared (IR), IR LED, and Excimer technologies, offering a complete suite of solutions for a broad range of printing applications.
This strategic expansion enables OEMs, ink providers, and print technology manufacturers to fully leverage the potential of Excelitas’ integrated curing technologies.
