Heart attack claims INX Digital executive

The world of digital printing has been saddened by the news that Bradley S. (Brad) Kisner, president of INX Digital International Co., passed away on Saturday, August 22, after suffering a heart attack while visiting family in Santa Cruz, California. He was 47.

Kisner’s name was synonymous with Triangle inks, from the founding of Triangle Digital LLC with his brother Ken, in 2002 through its evolution as a major component of INX Digital’s portfolio. “third-party inks” to new, higher levels of quality, ink technology leadership and respect.

‘All of us throughout the INX family extend heartfelt condolences to Brad’s immediate family and his brother Ken, along with his co-workers at Triangle facilities everywhere,’ said Rick Clendenning, INX International president and CEO. ‘Brad was a dear friend, colleague and business partner who will be sorely missed more than words can describe. The industry has lost a great friend as well as a dynamic leader who worked tirelessly to advance digital printing worldwide.’

Kisner began working in manufacturing during his high school summers at Triangle Coatings, a paint company his father Ned still owns and operates.

When he returned to Triangle Coatings, he led the company in sales and marketing and learned more about the sign and billboard industry. When the industry went digital in the late 1980s, Kisner led Triangle into manufacturing digital inks in 1988. It became Triangle Digital LLC in 2002.
