Anthony De Francesco

A logistics professional with over 10 years of experience, De Francesco has achieved many supply chain challenges since joining INX two years ago. Prior to being promoted to vice president of integrated supply chain, he reshaped key pillars including logistic operations, procurement, and supply planning. He also rightsized inventory without impacting service, and was instrumental in reshaping the company’s transportation footprint while reducing costs.

Alex Folloso

Folloso joined INX as a summer intern after he graduated from college 26 years ago. As the new vice president of R&D metal decorating technology, he is the driving force behind the company’s global metal decoration and rigid plastic ink development. He also leads the efforts for manufacturing and quality standardization at INX’s 2-piece and flat sheet metal decorating facilities. A recognized industry expert, he often attends events and frequently speaks on topics related to sustainability and food safety.

Kim Hill

Hill is a strong technical administrator who began her career at INX 19 years ago and has worked in all facets of the liquid ink division. The new vice president of R&D liquid solvent technology, she has expertise in raw material procurement, manufacturing, ink development, and sales in the United States, as well as with many foreign partners and subsidiaries. She also has contributed to developing control systems synthesizing INX’s in-house proprietary resin systems that are unique to the industry, and has earned the reputation as the go-to source to resolve issues and develop new technologies.
