Ball Packaging Europe adds to team

Ball Packaging Europe has added Dennis Schuilenburg as marketing director and Joerg Deppmeyer as general manager to support European growth.

Dennis Schuilenburg joins from Samsung Electronics Benelux, where he served as director of marketing. He has also worked for consumer brand giants Procter & Gamble and Philips.

Joerg Deppmeyer is taking over responsibilities from former general manager Wolfgang Hinkel.

In his role Deppmeyer, based in Weißenthurm, Germany, will be in charge of sales, supply/demand, customer service and graphics, while Hinkel will serve as managing director responsible for the strategic development of the German beverage can market.

Deppmeyer said the rapid double-digit growth in beverage cans over the past few years is only the beginning.

"Ball beverage cans create a unique drinking experience that is especially appreciated by young consumers. Their value-added proposition effectively targets the needs of different consumer groups and I look forward to further tapping into those opportunities.”​
