PrintCity, the strategic co-operative body of companies within graphic arts, is to appoint Rainer Kuhn to the full-time position of managing director.

He was previously communications manager with Oc. PrintCity, which includes names such as MAN Roland and Agfa, was launched as a co-operative exhibit at Drupa last year and will be at Ipex in April, but Kuhn said the concept had the potential to extend beyond exhibitions.

"Exploring that potential is a key element of my new role," Kuhn said.
