Tecnau has announced the retirement of Jeff Kewin as president of its Americas and Asia Pacific operations, following a career with the company spanning more than 30 years. Mr Kewin will continue to support the business in a new role as a member of Tecnau’s board of directors.
CEO Stefano De Marco credited Mr Kewin’s leadership with driving the company’s strong growth over the past year. “Tecnau’s exceptional growth in 2024, together with the widespread recognition and appreciation we’ve received from the market, is a direct reflection of Jeff’s visionary leadership,” he said.
Mr Kewin’s successor, Francis McMahon, steps into the role of president of Tecnau Americas and will also serve as the company’s chief marketing officer. Mr McMahon brings a wealth of experience to the position, having held senior roles at Kodak, HP, and most recently serving as executive vice president of production printing at Canon Solutions America for more than a decade.
Mr De Marco welcomed Mr McMahon’s decision to postpone a planned retirement to take up the new post. “We are fortunate to welcome Francis to Tecnau,” he said. “His reputation in the industry—built on consistent results, deep expertise, and personal integrity—is second to none.”
Mr McMahon said he was honoured by the appointment and eager to build on the work of his predecessor. “Tecnau has a long-standing reputation as a global leader in feeding and finishing solutions for digital print,” he commented. “I look forward to building on the strong foundation laid by Jeff, Stefano, and the entire team, and to further strengthening the print industry.”
