North America-based Pacificolor, service provider in the prepress and flexible packaging industry, has announced the appointment of Chad Atkinson as plant manager for its Utah production facility.
Mr Atkinson brings more than 30 years’ experience – beginning his career in 1990 as a platemaker – in the printing and packaging industries.
After his first five years as a platemaker in South Carolina working for Advanced Printing Products, he moved to North Carolina in 1995 for plate production and returned to South Carolina as a production lead.
In 2004, he became a project manager, leading key accounts in the multi-wall bag and corrugated markets, and was later promoted to production manager. His subsequent roles included warehouse manager, purchasing manager and account manager for several print and packaging companies.
‘I am excited to join Pacificolor and look forward to leveraging my experience to drive operational excellence and support our talented team,’ said Mr Atkinson.
Tim Hirsch, CEO of Pacificolor, commented, ‘We are thrilled to welcome Chad Atkinson to the Pacificolor family. His extensive background in production management will be crucial as we expand our operations in Utah.’
