Scott Schinlever, EFI<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Schinlever, who most recently was president and COO of Automation Solutions for Tolland, Connecticut-based Gerber Technology, had a long career managing the marketing, growth and development of EFI VUTEk printers and other EFI inkjet technologies. He joined the digital print industry in the late 1990s, working with the Xerox Office Systems Group. In 2001, he took on a marketing position at the pioneering superwide-format printer manufacturer VUTEk, a company EFI acquired in 2005. Schinlever continued to rise through the ranks at EFI following that acquisition, becoming senior vice president and general manager for EFI Inkjet Solutions \u2013 the company\u2019s largest business unit \u2013 before joining Gerber Technology in 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to have Scott back in the EFI family,\u201d said EFI Chairman and CEO Jeff Jacobson. \u201cOur industry is at a critical inflection point. I joined EFI one year ago because I clearly understood that EFI is the best-positioned company in the industry to drive the analog-to-digital transformation in the industrial inkjet space. Under Scott\u2019s leadership of the Inkjet Business, I am convinced that EFI will attain that leadership position across the diverse segments of display graphics, packaging, textiles and building materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cScott has an innate understanding of and expertise in the portfolio and solution set that will enable our customers to excel as the industry quickly migrates to industrial inkjet,\u201d Jacobson added. \u201cWe are confident he will lead our global industrial inkjet operations to the next level in his new Inkjet COO role.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Driving growth in digital print<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During Schinlever\u2019s previous time with the company, EFI\u2019s inkjet business grew significantly through organic growth and strategic acquisitions of innovative digital printer and ink companies. He expanded EFI\u2019s successful move into ink manufacturing, leveraging EFI\u2019s 2006 acquisition of digital ink and printer technologies from Flint Ink. That purchase set the stage for EFI\u2019s breakthrough position in high-quality, production-class UV LED inkjet superwide-format printers and ink \u2013 technology that provides superior versatility and energy cost savings for a broad range of applications. The business was further strengthened with the acquisition of Matan, bringing strong systems technology to EFI. Overall, EFI\u2019s revenues for its superwide-format inkjet products more than doubled under Schinlever, with increased profitability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schinlever not only expanded the company\u2019s strengths and presence in superwide-format display graphics printing, he also helped manage the company\u2019s strategic industrial project to develop the packaging market\u2019s leading single-pass inkjet corrugated board printer \u2013 the EFI Nozomi C18000. He also helped spearhead acquisitions of EFI Reggiani, a leading developer of industrial textile printers, and EFI Cretaprint \u2013 a digital ceramic tile printer market share leader with a strong position in the ceramics industry\u2019s most competitive geographies, including India and China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt feels great to be back at EFI,\u201d Schinlever stated. \u201cIn the two years that I have been away, much has changed, but the spirit of innovation and the strong desire to make our customers successful has remained strong and is increasing every day. I look forward to digging in, getting caught up, and working to take our inkjet businesses to a new and even more successful future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schinlever, who works from EFI\u2019s Londonderry, New Hampshire, facility, has an MBA from Duke University\u2019s Fuqua School of Business and a bachelor\u2019s degree in managerial economics from the University of California, Davis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
