Mr Filler joined Screen in 1981 and has spent 50 years working in the print industry.
Screen GP Europe president Brian Filler will retire at the end of September after 35 years with the company.
One of the industry’s best-known and most respected suppliers, Mr Filler will leave after 50 years spent working in print.
Mr Filler will be succeeded by Takanori Kakita, currently chairman of Screen GP Europe.
‘I shall be sad to leave the industry,’ said Mr Filler. ‘Over the years I have worked with an excellent team and have made a great many friends throughout the industry. It is a good time to leave when there is a real feeling of optimism in our industry.’
