Flexo prepress specialist Heaford confirmed the appointment of Danny Scales as its new Sales Manager for the United States, a move that underscores the company’s strategy to strengthen customer support and market presence across North America. Scales brings more than 20 years of industry experience, including technical and operational roles at HP and BOBST, as well as hands-on converter experience at Crowson Stone Printing and Artistic Carton Company. His background positions him to support flexo printers looking to streamline prepress workflows and maximize pressroom efficiency.

Scales will represent Heaford US through its collaboration with Flexo Wash US, aligning two established brands with a shared focus on performance, automation, and practical efficiency. Flexo Wash US President Patrick Potter said the partnership creates an opportunity to deliver more complete, growth-oriented solutions to printers, particularly as brand owners demand higher consistency and faster turnaround. For Scales, Heaford’s approach to simple, high-quality automation directly addresses the need to unlock hidden capacity and revenue potential in today’s competitive flexo environment.

Heaford Managing Director David Muncaster acknowledged the contribution of Gregg Gayle and US Flexo Solutions, which have supported Heaford in the US since 2018, and confirmed they will continue to assist during the transition. Looking ahead, Heaford and Flexo Wash US will jointly engage the market at FTA FORUM INFOFLEX and LOUPE Americas 2026, signaling a continued focus on helping US label and packaging printers drive efficiency, productivity, and long-term growth through optimized flexo prepress operations.
