Global Graphics PLC announced that it has appointed Mike Rottenborn as its new CEO following Gary Fry's decision to step down from the post at the end of the year to pursue other avenues in the printing and publishing software industry. Rottenborn is currently the president and CEO of HYBRID Software Inc. and will take up his new position from January 1, 2020. Gary Fry has served as chief executive officer since 2008 and has steered the Company through a significant growth period during which several strategic acquisitions have been concluded including Meteor Inkjet, the industrial printhead driver solutions specialists, and, Xitron LLC, a leading developer of prepress solutions. He has been the driving force behind the company's success in providing software solutions for inkjet printing, a rapidly expanding technology which is used to produce labels and packaging, ceramics, interior décor, and textiles. Rottenborn founded HYBRID Software in 2007 to provide a software solution that bridges the gap between e-commerce portals, prepress workflows, and MIS/ERP systems. He has spent 30 years working in the graphic arts industry and began his career as an electrical engineer with DuPont Printing & Publishing. After DuPont, Rottenborn joined PCC Artwork Systems to focus on prepress workflow software for packaging and commercial printing customers.
