When Pat Carlisle, managing consultant, Joules Angstrom U.V. Printing Inks, was honored with NAPIM’s Ault Award, he was genuinely surprised. Yet it wasn’t a surprise to attendees, who have seen first-hand Carlisle’s dedication to Joules Angstrom, the company he founded in 1999, as well as to NAPIM and the ink industry.
“It’s a tremendous honor to be included with such accomplished individuals who are looked upon as some of the greatest contributors to our ink industry,” Carlisle said.
Carlisle’s career in the ink industry began when he joined Continental Inks as a lab technician, and Pete Jacob taught Carlisle about the world of ink. In 1999, Carlisle headed out on his own, starting Joules Angstrom U.V. Printing Inks from his parents’ basement. In 2017, Sun Chemical acquired Joules Angstrom, and Carlisle remains as a managing consultant.
“I would like to thank Sun Chemical for believing in Joules Angstrom and including us as a part of their acquired family,” Carlisle said.
“What a great honor for a truly deserving individual,” said Chris Parrilli, president, North American Inks, Sun Chemical. “Pat has created a legacy with the Joules Angstrom brand and while building and guiding his company, he also felt the need to give back to the industry by taking active involvement in committees and at the officer level within NAPIM. Sun Chemical is very proud of Pat for this recognition and congratulates him and his family for all they do for Sun Chemical and the industry.”
As for his service to NAPIM, Carlisle became a NAPIM board member in 2002. He is the only person to serve more than two years as NAPIM president, having led the association from 2015-17, and prior to that, two-year stints as VP and treasurer. He received NAPIM’s prestigious NAPIM Printing Ink Pioneer Award in 2013.
Outside of NAPIM, Carlisle has been active in the Printing Industries of Ohio and Northern Kentucky since 2009, serving on the board of directors of the association since 2014 and as the Central Advisory Council Chair in 2015 and 2016.
Along the way, Carlisle has seen a lot of change within the ink industry.
“Key changes I’ve seen include certain printing segments declining, new printing segments arising and growing, as well as professional relationships becoming more business associated and not nearly as personal,” he said. “Packaging will continue to grow in all aspects and will be specifically driven by regulatory/environmental compliance. The remainder of the industry will experience peaks and valleys based upon generational drivers.”
Outside of the ink industry, Carlisle enjoys time with his family, as well as numerous hobbies.
“My hobbies consist of golfing, cooking, woodworking, and small farm projects, such as beekeeping, gardening, growing wine grapes and more,” Carlisle said.
One of 11 children, Carlisle said that his family was a major influence, beginning with his mother and father.
“My parents were a key influence in my life through their strong work ethics,” Carlisle said. “Pete Jacob of Continental Inks was my industry mentor. I’m grateful for customer and supplier support and loyalty, dedicated employees, and NAPIM board members through the years who have served as industry examples to follow.”
