By Thayer Long, President, APTech

We all hope that 2021 will bring a fresh start and new promise, yet at this juncture, nothing indicates that it will be any different than the year we have just left behind. The pandemic continues to challenge policy makers, while global economic uncertainty and fragility hover closely overhead, and consumer behavior and business practices are forever altered.

First, it’s important that I thank the countless volunteers, members, colleagues, and industry leaders who guided our industry and association through a very interesting and challenging 2020. The Association for PRINT Technologies (APTech) would not be in the advantageous position it is in today without the support of these individuals who believe in the value APTech can bring to its members and the printing community.
