Fujifilm has recruited former Heidelberg veteran Lindsay Barnes to replace the outgoing Sturt Eastwood.

Barnes has been appointed general manager of graphic systems. He was at Heidelberg from 1995 to 2012 and served most recently as national manager of products & business development.

Eastwood has left Fujifilm to become chief executive of the Australian Diabetes Council after three years with the company.

Fujifilm chief executive Kevin Masuda said: "Lindsay has produced an impressive portfolio of achievements in his 20-year professional career and with his deep industry experience we are delighted to welcome Lindsay to the Fujifilm team."

Barnes added: "Fujifilm is recognised as a market-leading supplier to the printing and graphics industry and I am looking forward to working closely with the team and our clients and leading Fujifilm Graphics in its next phase of growth."
