Korozo Group welcomes Daniel Strickland to support growth in North America

Packaging Solutions

Korozo Group has joined forces with Daniel Strickland to support growth of the business in North America, as the company seeks to substantially ramp up its activities in the region.

Dan brings a quarter of a century of experience to Korozo, with extensive knowledge of flexible and rigid packaging and trays. Close to two decades at Linpac Packaging were followed by a further six years with Klöckner Pentaplast. Over the years, he has built and managed teams in Europe, North America, South Africa and Australia. A brief tenure with Veritiv Corporation preceded him joining Korozo Group.

Dan was born and raised in the UK, before spending 20 years living in France and then relocating to the USA in 2017. Continuing to be based out of the US, he will work closely with Kemal Yürüm, sales manager for the Americas, and support Husa Inc, the group’s current importer and distributor in the region.

Dan said, ‘I am looking forward to working alongside Kemal to ramp up our sales presence in North America.

‘With the USA known as ‘the Land of Opportunity’, I have no doubt that Korozo will continue to make big waves in the ginormous market for flexible packaging, which is growing year on year.’

James Diprose has already joined the group as sales director responsible for the UK and Ireland, Benelux and Scandinavia, with Alexander Hauberg recruited to strengthen its activities in the DACH region.
