Landa Digital Printing, a division of the Landa Group, has appointed Arik Gordon as its new CEO.
Landa Digital Printing (LDP), which was spun out of Landa Labs a decade ago, currently employs approximately 550 people, and aims to penetrate the market with its nanographic printing presses.
Gordon joins LDP after a successful and significant 18 years at Orbotech.
In the past two years, he served as executive vice-president of strategy and growth at Orbotech, and was responsible for defining and leading the company’s future technological growth strategy and its expansion into new markets.
He also held several executive management positions in the company’s operations in Asia Pacific, and upon returning to Israel in 2013, was appointed president of Orbotech’s PCB (Printed Circuit Board) division.
Prior to joining Orbotech, Gordon worked for Scitex Europe for four years.
“During his years at Orbotech, I had the privilege of working closely with Arik. I value him as a leader with a broad technological background, who has demonstrated deep business understanding and strategic thinking in every position he has held,” Landa Digital Printing active chairman Asher Levy said.
“Arik has the professional and interpersonal capabilities needed to lead our highly skilled and dedicated team, as we realise our unique and significant business opportunities, and establish Landa Digital Printing as a leader in the world printing market.”
Gordon said he is delighted and excited to join Landa Digital Printing.
“Landa has a special and rare combination of groundbreaking technology, revolutionary products, first-rate professionals, and, not least, the potential to lead the trillion-dollar printing industry. As CEO, I accept the mission of leading Landa’s talented team in Israel and worldwide to realise the significant opportunity ahead of us,” Gordon mentioned.
Levy added that the company aims to see additional installations of its nanographic printing worldwide, which Gordon is said to be instrumental in.
“In 2019, Landa Digital Printing installed its first nanographic printing presses at customer sites around the world and received very positive reinforcement that our products are about to change the printing industry,” Levy said.
“In 2020, despite the global coronavirus pandemic, we expect to see additional installations worldwide, as demand for our products continues to be robust. We firmly believe that Arik is the right person to lead the company to global success.”
