Vic Stalam to lead Highcon in the Americas

Highcon made its first corporate moves into the Americas last year, and presented the new version of its Euclid digital cutting and creasing system, at Graph Expo 2014. Highcon reported its presence at Graph Expo 2014 as ‘successful’.

Stalam will lead Highcon's team in Canada, and North and South America, building the company’s American operations.

Stalam has spent many years in management roles of increasing responsibility at Kodak and X-Rite/Pantone, among others, managing cross-functional global teams to build new business.

‘I am excited to be joining Highcon at this particular stage of the company's growth,’ said Stalam. ‘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.’

Aviv Ratzman, Highcon chief executive officer, said: ‘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.’
