With previous experience with Nestinox in Best, van Kempen is keen to join the dynamic young team: “Working for this young yet experienced and ambitious company is a challenge I welcome. Its textile printing machines offer the highest levels of productivity and reliability. Peter Hollanders and his technical team have developed the finest quality family of products and it’s now up to us to share this ‘best-kept secret’ with the rest of the world.”

Van Kempen’s addition to the team suggests a welcome increase in demand for Hollander’s digital textile print solutions. Chief executive Jacco Aartsen Tuijin concurs, saying: “In the first six months of 2014 Hollanders has seen a significant increase in interest across its entire product portfolio. Van Kempen will play an important role in helping us to extend our reach to new customers and those wanting to upgrade to a new system.

“We are now on a very positive upward trajectory and, with this strong addition to our team, we can continue to move forward in the market.”
