Self-adhesive material manufacturer Metamark has hired Pravin Krishnan as its new managing director for Asia Pacific and Middle East, following recent business growth in these regions.

Krishnan’s responsibilities include strengthening Metamark’s distribution partnerships, expanding into new and existing markets, and building representation through new collaborations.

Metamark is distributed locally through Ball & Doggett.
 
Krishnan brings over 20 years of senior leadership experience in the graphics and allied industries, with a strong track record in marketing, brand development, and channel management.

He joins Metamark from CCL Design, where he most recently served as ASEAN vice-president and managing director for three years. Prior to that, he was ASEAN managing director for about 1.5 years and the ASEAN sales and marketing director for about a year at the company.

Krishnan also worked at Avery Dennison for almost 11 years across several roles including senior commercial director North Asia Pacific, Asia Pacific graphics segment director and South Asia graphics business director.

Metamark said this key appointment comes at an “exciting time” as its business continues to grow across the APAC and Middle East regions.

Metamark international vice-president Shaun Dobson said, “Our business is growing on all geographical fronts. Pravin’s appointment will help us reach our potential in APAC and ME, and his expertise further strengthens our talented international team”.
 
Krishnan added, “I am genuinely excited to join Metamark at this pivotal moment of international growth. I look forward to working with our customers and teams to drive sustainable growth”.
