Presstek appoints Yuval Dubois as CEO

Since joining Presstek in 2013, Dubois has successfully spearheaded several critical initiatives in the commercial, newspaper, label and narrow web printing market segments. Presstek said he played a pivotal role in the launch of the Zahara waterless plate product, and that his knowledge in computer-to-plate (CtP) and DI plate technologies will be invaluable as he positions Presstek for greater success.

Before joining Presstek, Dubois held various management roles at VIM Technologies, which was acquired by Presstek in 2013. Dubois replaces John Becker, interim CEO, who stepped in after the sudden passing of Presstek’s former CEO Sparsh Bhargava in October 2016. Becker is a general partner at American Industrial Partners, an investment company that acquired Presstek in 2012.

‘I look forward to working with our talented team to continue to advance Presstek across multiple market segments within the printing industry,’ commented Dubois. ‘We have a lot of opportunity to reach new customers, while helping our large customer base grow their businesses. The market can expect to see new partnerships, products and services, with an increase in research and development.’

Becker said: ‘With Yuval’s sound judgement and deep understanding of the printing industry, Presstek is poised for a period of new growth.’
