Global packaging manufacturer Korozo Group (Korozo) 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, Dan will work closely with Kemal Yürüm, Sales Manager at Korozo 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.”

This view supports the long-term vision of Korozo Group CEO Adam Barnett, who said: “Kemal has done a tremendous job for the group in North America. As we look to build our sales in the region, Dan will be critical in implementing my vision to create a North American entity turning over c$50m.

“Both Dan and Kemal will work together to support Husa, Inc. and build on our sales platform.”

Korozo Group is a leading provider of flexible packaging and film products. It operates a robust network of production, sales, and distribution facilities across Europe, as well as serving more than 75 countries worldwide.

James Diprose has already joined the group as Sales Director responsible for the UK & Ireland, Benelux and Scandinavia, with Alexander Hauberg recruited to strengthen its activities in the DACH region. Daniel Strickland is the latest addition as Korozo Group continues to strengthen its position in key geographies and further its support for customers in all regions.

Adam said: “Having already welcomed James and Alexander into the Korozo family, we look forward to working with Dan to enhance our position in North America.”
