As part of a planned leadership transition, Nilpeter Ltd. has appointed David Kitson as managing director. Kitson will succeed Nick Hughes, who led the UK organization for more than three decades. 

Hughes joined Nilpeter in 1990 and has played an integral role in establishing the company as a leading press supplier within the UK label industry. Kitson’s background includes experience from the printing industry, including managing sales activities in an international environment for Robert Graphics. To ensure continuity, Hughes will work closely with Kitson to secure a smooth and well-structured transition.

“Nilpeter has been a huge part of my professional life, and I am very proud of what we have built together in the UK,” said Hughes. “I am fully committed to supporting David and the team to ensure continuity for our customers.”

Added Nilpeter COO Peter Eriksen: “Nick Hughes has made an exceptional contribution to Nilpeter and we are grateful that he will continue to support the business during the transition. At the same time, we are very pleased to welcome David Kitson as managing director.”
