KBA has named Belgian Lode Vlayen (49) to succeed Roland Kastner, the newly-appointed managing director of KBA Complete – the consultancy business established by KBA and Hiflex – who died suddenly a week after DRUPA closed. Vlayen’s career includes time as production manager at a web-offset plant, and as European product marketing manager at Scitex and Creo. Four years ago he transferred to Hiflex as the director for the Benelux states. Kastner (50) was a computer scientist with 15 years’ experience who held several positions in the print media industry before focussing on process optimisation and restructuring as managing partner of Hiflex Streamlining in 2001. gx
