Experienced print sector executive will lead sales and support organization serving North America and Latin America

Goss International has appointed Mike D’Angelo, an executive with more than 30 years of experience in the printing and packaging industries, to the newly created position of managing director for the Americas. 

D’Angelo will lead the extensive Goss sales, service and support organization addressing requirements of commercial, packaging and newspaper printing operations throughout North America and Latin America. With his industry-specific experience, he will also play an important role as Goss expands its portfolio and presence in the packaging and converting sector.

D’Angelo has held sales and executive positions since 1982 with Bobst, one of the world’s largest suppliers of press and auxiliary equipment for packaging and converting. He most recently led the business unit responsible for web-fed products and was a member of the company’s executive committee in North America.

Goss president and CEO Rick Nichols says the appointment of D’Angelo is in line with a transformation of the company’s organizational structure in response to changing requirements of customers. Goss has created four regional centers responsible for sales, service and support for the Americas, Europe, China and Asia.

“The environment that our customers operate in is fundamentally changing and, along with highly efficient and cost-effective technology, they are looking for increasingly responsive service and support capabilities to optimize the performance of that technology,” Nichols explains. “Our support network already differentiates Goss in the Americas, and Mike’s background puts him in a unique position to help us further strengthen and coordinate that network.”

D’Angelo is a graduate of Villanova University (Pennsylvania, USA). He has served on the board of directors of the Flexible Packaging Association and the International Corrugated Packaging Foundation. He is also a member or former member of the Technical Association of the Pulp and Paper Industry, the Paperboard Packaging Council, the Flexographic Technical Association and the Gravure Association of America.

Goss International supplies presses and finishing systems – including the most automated, productive and cost-effective web offset presses in the world – for magazine, newspaper, catalog, packaging, direct mail and other printing applications. Headquartered in Durham, New Hampshire (USA), the company has manufacturing operations in North America, Asia and Europe and a worldwide sales and support network.
