Mike D’Angelo joins Goss as managing director for the Americas

Goss International has appointed Mike D’Angelo, an executive with more than 30 years of experience in the printing and packaging industries, to the newly created position of managing director for the Americas.

Mike D’Angelo to lead sales and support organization serving North America and Latin America

D’Angelo will lead the Goss sales, service and support organization addressing requirements of commercial, packaging and newspaper printing operations throughout North America and Latin America.

D’Angelo has held sales and executive positions since 1982 with Bobst, one of the world’s largest suppliers of press and auxiliary equipment for packaging and converting. He most recently led the business unit responsible for web-fed products and was a member of the company’s executive committee in North America.

As such, he will also play an important role as Goss expands its portfolio and presence in the packaging and converting sector, and is in line with a transformation of the company’s organizational structure in response to changing requirements of customers. Goss has created four regional centers responsible for sales, service and support for the Americas, Europe, China and Asia.

 Goss president and chief executive officer Rick Nichols said: ‘The environment that our customers operate in is fundamentally changing and, along with highly efficient and cost-effective technology, they are looking for increasingly responsive service and support capabilities to optimize the performance of that technology.

‘Our support network already differentiates Goss in the Americas, and Mike’s background puts him in a unique position to help us further strengthen and coordinate that network.’
