Océ Australia confirms new Managing Director
One of the worst kept secrets in the industry is officially confirmed with the announcement of Simon Wheeler as the new boss for Océ Australia.
The industry professional from the UK replaces popular Servio Notermans who has returned to Europe to become managing director of Océ in France.
Wheeler joined Océ in the UK 14 years ago and has held a number of senior positions with the British arm of the company, most notably as divisional director, responsible for major corporate and commercial accounts.
A seasoned graphic arts professional, he has a wide knowledge of most areas of printing and describes himself as being "passionate about the industry”.
Wheeler will be based in Australia at Océ’s head office in Scoresby, Victoria. In the coming years he predicts major changes in the industry, which will bring “many opportunities and challenges to digital printing”.
“Océ is at the forefront of the digital printing revolution, and market leader in an increasing number of important areas. I am looking forward to bringing some of our new technologies to the market here in Australia and helping our Australian customers achieve the highest standards of excellence,” he said.
