ILIP appoints UK area sales manager
Jonathan Baldwin will be the area sales manager and business development manager for ILIP.
Following the recent expansion into the Spanish market, the Bologna-based company – which is represented in the UK through its distributor Associated Packaging – will be able to count on their sales manager to interface directly with clients.
Baldwin comes from six years of working as a business development manager at Associated Packaging, in the fruit and vegetable packaging area.
During his previous position, he worked closely with UK retailers, including being involved in development projects designed to cut costs and environmental impact in distribution by reducing the weight of packaging.
Baldwin said: “I am very happy about the period spent at Associated Packaging, were I learnt a lot about market demand. I am enthusiastic about my new position with the ILPA group.”
He will be responsible for consolidating and developing the position held by ILIP in the fresh produce packaging market, while as business development manager he will be looking to open new markets in the food packaging sector.
