“Dan brings with him a wealth of print industry experience as well as the team-leading abilities needed to build upon Roland DGA’s success as the North and South American marketing, sales, distribution, and service arm of our parent company, Roland DG Corporation,” said Roland DGA CEO Andrew Oransky. “He joins Roland DGA at a key point in the growth of our company’s sign and graphics business as well as its expansion into new and exciting markets.”
Burmeister said he looks forward to contributing to Roland DGA’s growth. “Roland DG has a strong brand name and a long history of innovation,” he said. “They have recently expanded their offerings to allow entirely new groups of customers the chance to experience and benefit from Roland DG technology. I’m thrilled to have this opportunity to lead the talented team at Roland DGA, where my efforts will be centered on maximizing stakeholder value, from our employees to our partners and customers, as we expand our focus and the markets we serve.”
