New MD for Linx Printing

Linx Printing Technologies, provider of coding and marking equipment, has announced the appointment of Nigel Hood as managing director.

Nigel Hood joins the St Ives, Cambridgeshire based company from Hach, where he was most recently business unit director for the Particle Counting business. Like Linx, Hach is part of the Danaher group, which Hood joined in 2002 following its acquisition of Orbisphere, where he was VP sales and marketing.

He replaces the outgoing Linx managing director Jennifer Honeycutt, who has been appointed president at Beckman Coulter Life Sciences.
