ACTEGA’s North American Personnel Appointments

ACTEGA announced two appointments that reinforce its strategic growth ambitions across North America. 

Edgar Contreras has rejoined the company as Strategic Account Manager of New Business Development within its Flexible Packaging Business Line, while Shawn Hendrix has been appointed Technical Account Manager.

Both of these appointments strengthen ACTEGA’s commercial and technical capabilities across the flexible packaging and labels markets, spanning strategic account development through to hands-on customer support.

Edgar Contreras

Contreras has a clear goal to accelerate growth across high-potential, multi-location accounts. 

In his newly created role, he spans new business development throughout the United States, Mexico, and Canada, alongside international opportunities coordinated with partners in Central and South America. 

His work will center on developing account penetration strategies, engaging decision-makers within complex organizations, and coordinating the company’s cross-border resources to deliver a unified customer experience.

Contreras previously held the role of ACTEGA’s West Coast Regional Manager, building a strong reputation for customer focus, deep industry knowledge, and a collaborative approach.

Shawn Hendrix

In his new role as Technical Sales Manager, Hendrix will support customers and develop business opportunities throughout Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, and western Tennessee. 

He brings over 25 years of experience in the printing and packaging industry, with expertise across flexographic, digital, and offset printing, including over 18 years in plant and operations leadership. 

Most recently, Hendrix was Operations Manager at Genflex Labeling Solutions in Atlanta, overseeing the manufacture of pressure-sensitive labels, tags, and shrink sleeves. 

Hendrix previously spent nearly nine years with WS Packaging Group / Multi-Color Corporation as Production/Plant Manager and held leadership roles at RR Donnelley. 

“These two appointments reflect the scale of investment we are making in our North American business,” said Mell C. Bishop III, Vice President, Flexible Packaging at ACTEGA North America. “Edgar brings the strategic account focus and cross-border commercial expertise we need to accelerate growth across our Flexible Packaging Business Line, while Shawn brings deep, hands-on understanding of our customers’ manufacturing environments and technical challenges that allows ACTEGA to engage as a true operational partner. Together, they strengthen our ability to serve customers at every level, from long-term account strategy through to day-to-day technical support, and I am confident both will make an immediate and lasting contribution to our growth across the region.”
