Louisville, Kentucky - January 5, 2026 - Flexo pre-press solutions specialist Heaford is excited to announce Danny Scales as its new U.S. Sales Manager, bringing expanded support and expertise to customers across the North American market.
With more than 20 years of experience in print and packaging, including over a decade at AV Flexologic, HP and BOBST, Danny brings deep technical expertise and a clear understanding of the flexographic landscape and the day-to-day challenges printers face.
In this new role, Danny will represent Heaford in the U.S. while working alongside the Flexo Wash US team. Together, the companies aim to provide printers with easier access to proven tools for pre-press efficiency, combining Heaford's mounting and proofing systems with Flexo Wash's automated cleaning systems.
“I'm excited to support both Heaford and Flexo Wash US,” said Danny. “The U.S. label and packaging market continues to grow, but printers are navigating real challenges; tight margins, rising costs, and staffing pressures. I'm here to help them find smarter solutions that improve productivity and reduce complexity.”
Patrick Potter, President of Flexo Wash US, added: “Flexo Wash and Heaford are trusted names throughout North America, and we share a similar commitment to excellence and efficiency. With many mutual customers, this partnership offers a unique opportunity to deliver more complete solutions to printers focused on growth, performance, and serving brand owners at a higher level.”
Heaford has served U.S. printers for more than 40 years. Since 2018, Gregg Gayle has represented Heaford through US Flexo Solutions, providing expert local support. Gregg will remain involved during the transition and continue supporting customers alongside Danny in the months ahead.
“We’re incredibly thankful to Gregg for his years of dedication,” said David Muncaster, Managing Director at Heaford. “He’s helped grow our presence in the U.S. and built strong relationships that we’ll continue to value moving forward. We’re also thrilled to welcome Danny, whose industry knowledge and practical experience will be a huge asset to our customers.”
Both Heaford and Flexo Wash US will be exhibiting at FTA FORUM INFOFLEX (April 26–29, Milwaukee) and Loupe Americas 2026 (September 15–17, Chicago).
