Wesley Clements has been appointed vice president of Goss International's Lifetime Support program in North America, overseeing parts, service, training and enhancements for the company's full range of web offset press and print finishing systems.

Clements joined the company ten years ago and has extensive project management and engineering experience. He replaces Greg Blue who decided to leave Goss International in December.

"This was a difficult decision for Greg, and we appreciate his 19 years of service to our customers," explains Jochen Meissner, Goss International CEO. "Wesley is the right leader to continue our commitment to a responsive, comprehensive aftermarket program."

Clements most recently played key roles in development of the Goss FPS press and in large press installations in Europe and the U.S., including the Goss Colorliner project completed at The New York Times in 2008.

"Through his experience with major installation projects, Wesley appreciates the responsiveness necessary to deliver effective parts, service and training programs," according to Meissner. "His engineering background also puts him in a strong position to drive our philosophy of making the latest Goss innovations available as enhancements for existing systems."

The Goss International Lifetime Support program includes integrated parts, service, training and enhancement capabilities designed to extend the competitive life of existing Goss press and finishing systems.
