Plastic card manufacturer CPI Card Group, Littleton, Colo. recently announced two organizational changes to aid in its shift to a strategic initiative focusing on color technology as a core competency of the company.
Ken Keith, who has been instrumental in leading CPI’s Fort Wayne manufacturing operation this past year through tremendous growth, has been promoted to director of color technology, while Gene Fogle will bring his more than 20 years’ plant management experience to CPI’s Indiana operation as the company’s new manufacturing director.
While remaining in Fort Wayne, Keith’s new focus will be to strategically manage color for all of CPI. Keith has been active in the graphic arts industry since 1976 and in the digital side from the late 1980s, mainly in pressroom quality and process controls with digital plate setters. His previous experience includes pressroom/color consultant for a Midwest graphic arts distributor. He has also consulted for Kodak.
Fogle’s background includes operational and environmental safety, quality assurance, creation of standards and processes, corrective and preventative action programs, project management, plant layouts, cost containment and accountability.
Keith will provide Fogle’s training and will continue to be responsible for all manufacturing during the transition phase. ![[end]](/resources/bullet/cr80news-4.gif)
