HUDSON, N.H., May 14 - Presstek, Inc., a leading provider of direct digital imaging technology, today announced that as a result of its new leadership's focus on marketing and commercialization, it has realigned its Presstek organization into two customer oriented business units - Direct Imaging (DI) and computer- to-plate (CTP). The DI business unit will include all on-press DI equipment and consumables. The CTP business unit will focus on all off-press equipment and consumables.

To reflect this change, the company has also realigned its senior management team. Stan Najmr will become general manager of the new DI business unit. Najmr has been Presstek's Director of DI Marketing since February 2001. David Ventola, currently Presstek's Director of Partner Relations, has been appointed general manager of the new CTP business unit. In addition, supporting both the DI and CTP business units, Steven Degon, currently Presstek's Vice President of Consumable Manufacturing will now be responsible for both consumable and equipment manufacturing. Robert Barry will become Presstek's Vice President of Engineering and Product Commercialization for both business units.
