Encad, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Eastman Kodak Company, has appointed Barry R. Lathan CEO. Mr. Lathan is replacing Brad Kruchten, who will be managing Kodak’s wholesale and online services, within the consumer and professional imaging business.
Most recently, Mr. Lathan was founder and CEO of Xerox ColorgrafX Systems, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary and a market leader in wide format digital printing solutions. He enjoyed a successful 30-year career with Xerox, where his ability to provide vision and strategic thinking moved him up to the position of vice president and general manager of Xerox Engineering Systems and on to leading the XCS team in a new growth market.
The appointment of Mr. Lathan is a result of a reorganization recently announced at Kodak to realign its operations and leadership team to pursue growth opportunities in commercial and consumer markets. Encad is now part of the new Commercial Printing Division, along with Kodak Polychrome Graphics, Nexpress and Digital Asset Management – all businesses that focus on the digital aspect of the commercial printing market.
