IIMAK Names Douglas Wagner New CEO

International Imaging Materials, Inc. (IIMAK) has promoted Douglas C. Wagner to CEO. He has also been appointed to the Board of Directors and will continue in his current role as IIMAK president, which he assumed in 2012.
 
Wagner joined IIMAK in 2007 as VP of sales and marketing. He has been instrumental in driving the business through global expansion and diversification.
 
Wagner’s appointment completes the managed executive transition coordinated by the current CEO, Richard A. Marshall. As part of this transition, Marshall will remain actively involved with IIMAK and continue as the chairman of the Board. Marshall enjoyed a highly successful career at IIMAK, spanning 23 years, and has now chosen to move a step closer to retirement.
 
“It has been one of my most satisfying professional experiences, to work closely with Doug and to have him succeed me as CEO,” said Marshall. “I am excited for Doug and for the future of IIMAK. I am passing the leadership role to Doug with extreme confidence that he will provide the guidance, energy and wisdom to build IIMAK beyond what I have imagined.”
 
Under Wagner’s leadership, IIMAK completed four acquisitions, penetrating into the inkjet inks market and strengthening IIMAK’s position in Mexico and Central America. He also supported capital investments for improved manufacturing efficiencies and enhanced sustainability.
 
“Doug has a strong vision for IIMAK’s growth and a keen strategic focus to drive results,” added Marshall. “IIMAK employees are a dedicated team and will continue to bring new levels of innovation, customer care and value to our industries.”
 
Prior to joining IIMAK, Wagner spent nine years with Avery Dennison in its Retail Information Services Group (RIS), last holding the position of VP of sales and marketing for the Europe, Middle East and Africa region. He began his career working for the U.S. Department of State, serving as a member of the Foreign Service at U.S. Embassies in Tunisia, Guatemala and Saudi Arabia.
