PRESS RELEASE -- REGULATED INFORMATION
GLOBAL GRAPHICS APPOINTS NEW CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
Cambridge (UK), 12 November 2019 (18:00 CET): Global Graphics PLC
(Euronext: GLOG) has appointed Mike Rottenborn as its new CEO following
Gary Fry's decision to step down from the post at the end of the year to
pursue other avenues in the printing and publishing software industry.
Mr Rottenborn is currently the president and CEO of HYBRID Software Inc.
and will take up his new position from 1(st) January 2020.
Gary Fry has served as chief executive officer since 2008 and has
steered the Company through a significant growth period during which
several strategic acquisitions have been concluded including Meteor
Inkjet, the industrial printhead driver solutions specialists, and,
Xitron LLC, a leading developer of prepress solutions. He has been the
driving force behind the Company's success in providing software
solutions for inkjet printing, a rapidly expanding technology which is
used to produce labels and packaging, ceramics, interior décor, and
textiles.
Mr Rottenborn (52) founded HYBRID Software in 2007 to provide a software
solution that bridges the gap between e-commerce portals, prepress
workflows, and MIS/ERP systems. He has spent 30 years working in the
graphic arts industry and began his career as an electrical engineer
with DuPont Printing & Publishing. After DuPont, Mr Rottenborn joined
PCC Artwork Systems to focus on prepress workflow software for packaging
and commercial printing customers.
Guido Van der Schueren, chairman of Global Graphics comments, "Gary Fry
has been instrumental in shaping Global Graphics into the organisation
it is today with a very clear strategic focus on digital and inkjet
printing and the board is grateful for the energy and dynamism he has
brought to the role. In Mike Rottenborn the Company has the ideal
candidate to succeed Gary due to his impeccable technical credentials
combined with extensive commercial experience. He also has the
analytical, leadership, and organizational skills that are required to
guide the business forward. With decades of industry experience to
bring to bear he is a well-known and respected figure and the board is
delighted to welcome him as part of the Global Graphics team."
Mr Rottenborn received his Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical
Engineering from Virginia Tech and his Master of Science degree in
Computer Science from Villanova University.
