Fujifilm has strengthened its label and narrow web resources with the appointment of Mark Bladon as Business Development Manager for this growing sector.
Bladon comes with a very experienced pedigree in the graphic arts, having graduated from Southampton Institute of Art & Design in the UK and serving a full apprenticeship as a printer, progressing to Pressroom Manager and moving into Sales and Marketing before relocating to Australia.

He joined KBA Australia to take care of offset sales for NSW, Qld and the ACT before gaining valuable digital experience with Heidelberg, Koniica Minolta and HP Indigo technologies.
Fujifilm’s National Sales Manager for Graphic Systems, Paul Budgen, comments: “Having someone with Mark’s depth of experience join the team is a tremendous boost to our goal of deeper penetration in the core graphic arts. The label sector is experiencing significant growth, which Fujifilm Australia intends to capitalise upon. Our Fujifilm Sericol narrow web inks and colour management already provide a firm platform to build on and the next step is to expand our hardware offerings. We are delighted to welcome Mark on board to help drive these initiatives.”
Mark Bladon adds: “Joining a company with Fujifilm’s resources and global footprint is a rare opportunity and I look forward with great enthusiasm to helping our label and narrow web customers negotiate industry changes between conventional and digital technologies. With leading products in both camps, Fujifilm is a strong partner for the profitable growth of label and narrow web printing businesses.
