Landa Digital Printing gets an ‘active chairman’

Landa Digital Printing’s CEO Yishai Amir has stepped down, coinciding with the appointment of Asher Levy to the position of active chairman.

Benny Landa, chairman of the Landa Group, today announced the changes at LDP, the largest of the group’s 18 companies. LDP, which started as a spin-out of Landa Labs ten years ago, now employs some 600 people and is said to be in an accelerating growth phase as it ramps up delivery of its Nanographic printing presses. “2019 was a pivotal year for Landa Digital Printing, which saw its first press installations being enthusiastically received by customers," said Landa. "The company is now poised for unprecedented growth and is deserving of a dedicated active chairman. I have invited Asher Levy to partner with me and my fellow board members, as he is an accomplished executive whose decades-long career helped Orbotech become world market leader in its field. As CEO of Orbotech, he grew the company to become a billion-dollar-plus enterprise. He brings exactly the right skillset, experience and leadership to help guide LDP and its management through a rapid growth curve.” Levy said: “I am very excited to be joining the board of Landa Digital Printing as active chairman. I am amazed by this company’s technology and products, which are already starting to disrupt the printing market. I look forward to helping the remarkably talented and dedicated team of people at Landa Digital Printing to fulfill the company’s vision of leading the trillion-dollar printing industry in the digital era.” Outgoing Amir added: "During the past four years, I have been at the helm of Landa Digital Printing. During that time, it has transitioned from being a company with great technology to a company with great products. I am very proud of having been part of that transformation. I have decided that now is the best time for me to proceed to my next challenges and to make way for a successor at the company."
