ESMA’s yearly General Assembly in March 2023 elected the new Board of Directors, chaired by Robin McMillan from Sun Chemical. Elaine Campling has been voted ESMA honourable ambassador. McMillan will; serve as ESMA chairman for 2023-25.
“I am very honored to be elected, I follow a number of very well respected and hard-working chairs and welcome the chance to emulate their tenures,” said McMillan. “I have been involved with ESMA for over 20 years, initially joining the Applications Committee with a view to spreading the know-how, skills and experience of the member suppliers to the multiple screenprinting industries served by the ESMA members. Later this encompassed other printing technologies, mainly inkjet but also to a degree pad printing, flexo and other application techniques.”
For the next two years McMillan will preside over the Board of Directors consisting of Tracey Brown (vice-chair, Meteor Inkjet), Manuel Zuckerman (treasurer, Fimor), Jon Bultemeyer (Marabu), Pietro Giuliani (Saati), Frens Peters (Lotus Holland), Holly Steedman (IST INTECH), Debbie Thorp (Global Inkjet Systems), Jan van Schaik (SPS Technoscreen), Axel Stuhlreiter (Ricoh), Samuel Wagner (Sefar) and Steve Wakefield (Fujifilm).
“Industrial and specialist printing techniques will continue to evolve and diversify,” McMillan noted. “It is diversification that has enabled many print processes to remain valid today. Perhaps not always in the mainstream and visible markets, but behind the scenes they can be thriving and clearly there will be migration to digital and alternative technologies, but also the creation of new opportunities for all print methods.”
Following annual tradition, ESMA’s General Assembly chose its new honourable ambassador. The title has been awarded to Campling from Chemical Compliances Advisory Services.
“I am proud to have been a member of ESMA’s Health, Safety and Environmental Protection (HSEP) Committee for around 20 years, and to have been the Chair of the committee for many of those,” Campling said. “It is difficult to put into words how proud I am to have been voted the ESMA honourable ambassador. The award really means a lot to me from an organization with great standing, that continues to evolve and remains strongly focused on providing value to the membership.”
