Introducing
Wesley Clements: New Head for Lifetime Support Program

Wesley_Clements_1After 19 years of service, Greg Blue has decided to leave Goss International. This was a difficult decision for Greg, but he made it based on personal circumstances and new opportunities outside of our industry. We thank him for the dedication he brought to our Lifetime Support program and we wish him all the best in future endeavors.
 
Assuming Greg's responsibilities is Wesley Clements. Wesley, who is based at our Durham, NH facility, has an extensive engineering and project management background and has been a leader in global product initiatives since joining our organization 10 years ago. He played key roles in the development of our innovative FPS press and in successful FPS and Colorliner projects in Europe and at The New York Times over the past two years.
 
Wesley fully appreciates your aftermarket requirements and our commitment to a responsive, comprehensive program to meet them. His experience and responsibilities in engineering, in particular, will support our philosophy of making the latest Goss innovations available as enhancements for existing systems."

Sunday Press retrofit
DigiRail CommercialOne of the largest users of Goss Sunday web presses will be the first in the world to retrofit one of the gapless technology presses with the DigiRail digital inking system.

"We are excited about bringing a new competitive advantage to our customers," explains Tim Sands, vice president of press operations for Quad/Graphics.  "Digital inking has the potential to improve presetting speed and accuracy, reduce start-up waste and simplify color control during operation."
