David Medlar, vice president of Digital Business Unit, Mark Andy, has spent more than 21 years at the company. A mechanical engineer by trade, Medlar grew within Mark Andy – eventually leading the company’s operations facility. Five years ago, Medlar transitioned to the digital side of Mark Andy’s business.
Medlar sits down with L&NW to discuss the latest trends in the digital and hybrid printing markets, in addition to Mark Andy’s response to consumer demand.
Q: How did Mark Andy get into the digital printing market?
When Mark Andy first got into digital, especially with my background in engineering, there was such a desire in the market for a digital product. We felt like we had to transform the business over time to digital. Eventually, even if it’s 30 years from now, some 90% of the presses in these label converting plants will have some sort of digital capability. At the time, there was a willingness for a mature industry to look at a new type of technology and jump right in, and that was an interesting dynamic for us.
