Heidelberg President Felix Mueller Joins SGIA\u2019s SMC<\/strong>
\nCarleen Gray of Stahls\u2019 steps up to Vice Chairman<\/em><\/p>\n

Fairfax, Va. \u2014<\/strong> The Suppliers and Manufacturers Council (SMC) of the Specialty Graphic Imaging Association (SGIA) has appointed Stahls\u2019 CEO Carleen Gray Vice Chairman, and has added Felix Mueller, President, Heidelberg Americas, to its roster.<\/p>\n

Sometimes called a \u201cconvergence council,\u201d the SMC is an elite group of printing industry leaders who are advising SGIA on issues and concerns related to the future success of their companies, their customers and, most importantly, the printing industry. That future centers on the phenomenon of convergence, the blurring of boundaries between industry segments that\u2019s resulting from the rise of digital printing technologies.<\/p>\n

Mueller oversees all activities of Heidelberg USA, Canada and Mexico. He has more than 20 years with the company, serving in roles including Regional Business Manager (RBM) for Asia, RBM Equipment for Western Europe and Worldwide Product Management for Sheetfed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re pleased to have Felix as an SMC member. He\u2019s leading Heidelberg and its customers toward convergence, and his experiences are helping inform the SMC\u2019s perspective,\u201d said SMC Chairman Andrew Oransky, President & CEO, Roland DGA Group.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m honored to join SGIA\u2019s Suppliers and Manufacturers Council. Together with my peers and fellow Council members, we need to better address the convergence in the industry. The SMC is an ideal way for us to come face-to-face and collaborate for the betterment and future success of all of our customers,\u201d Mueller said.<\/p>\n

Gray has led Stahls\u2019, a manufacturer of garment decoration materials and equipment, since 2018, following 20 years in positions including Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing and Chief Marketing Officer. She also has extensive experience in the automotive industry, where she served as a licensing manager, building brands with clients including Chrysler and General Motors.<\/p>\n

\u201cCarleen\u2019s extensive experience in garment decoration and her perspective on how the various industry segments we work in can connect will be valuable to us all,\u201d said Oransky.<\/p>\n

SGIA<\/a><\/em><\/strong> is a trade association for the leaders of the 21st Century printing industry. SGIA members are bold, driven, creative and riding a wave of technology and innovation. In addition to providing high-quality information and educational resources designed to help move the printing community forward, SGIA produces the leading trade shows PRINTING United (Dallas, October 23 – 25, 2019) and Graphics of the Americas (Miami, February 27 – 29, 2020).<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
