North Andover, MA (April 29, 2025) – After more than three decades of dedicated service with Sitma’s corporate parent Tecnau, Jeff Kewin is retiring from his role as President of Sitma Americas (as well as his role of President of Tecnau Americas and Asia Pacific).
“Jeff brought extraordinary energy, dedication, and passion to the task of reinvigorating Sitma’s US business after Tecnau’s acquisition of Sitma in 2023,” said Stefano De Marco, Chief Executive Officer of Tecnau. “Recent partnership agreements with industry heavyweights Fortna, Packsize, Pregis and Westrock ensure his legacy will live on. On behalf of the entire Sitma and Tecnau teams, I extend my deepest gratitude to Jeff for his outstanding contributions.”
While stepping down from his executive roles, we are pleased to announce Jeff’s nomination to Tecnau’s Board of Directors.
Sitma is also pleased to announce the appointment of Francis McMahon as the new President of Sitma Americas and Chief Marketing Officer of the company. Francis brings extensive experience in the printing and digital imaging industry, having held senior leadership positions at Kodak and HP, and most recently serving over a decade as Executive Vice President of Production Printing at Canon Solutions America.
“We are fortunate to welcome Francis to Tecnau,” said De Marco. “Although he had initially planned for a longer retirement, we are grateful he has chosen to join us. His reputation in the industry—built on consistent results, deep expertise, and personal integrity—is second to none. We are proud to have him on our team.”
“I am honored by the trust placed in me by the De Marco family,” said McMahon. “Sitma has a 60-year heritage of leadership in the packaging industry, with a product portfolio headlined by sustainable e-commerce packaging solutions built for the future. I look forward to building on the strong foundation laid by Jeff, Stefano, and the entire team.”
