Following a successful launch at Graph Expo at the end of
last year, Highcon is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Vic Stalam to
the position of President, Highcon Americas. Vic will be leading Highcon's team
in Canada, North and South America and building the American operations. Vic
has vast industry experience spanning technology, imaging, business information
systems and services. He spent many years in management roles of increasing
responsibility at Kodak, and X-Rite/Pantone (a Danaher company), among others,
leading cross-functional global teams to build new business.
Aviv Ratzman, CEO of Highcon: “We are delighted to have been
able to recruit Vic to join our team and to lead our operations in the
Americas. His in-depth understanding of all aspects of printing and packaging
technology, particularly in the digital arena, will bolster our commitment to
investing in the world's largest market.”
Vic Stalam, President, Highcon Americas: “I am excited to be
joining Highcon at this particular stage of the company's growth. The introduction
of digital technology into the post-print and packaging market completes the
missing link in the digital printing workflow. I believe in Highcon’s vision of
transforming “finishing” into a value adding process. The Highcon Euclid
digital cutting and creasing machine offers printers and converters an
innovative and productive solution to the demands of their clients.”
The award winning Highcon Euclid is the first fully digital
cutting and creasing machine for converting paper, labels, folding carton and
microflute. The Euclid incorporates Highcon’s patented ‘DART’ (Digital Adhesive
Rule Technology) to produce creases, and high-speed laser optics to cut a wide
range of substrates. By eliminating the conventional die-making process,
Highcon delivers the innovation and differentiation that printers, converters,
trade finishers, brand owners and retailers have all been waiting for.
