Fespa board members recognised for commitment to wide-format printing
Michel Caza and Ricardo Rodríguez Delgado, members of the Fespa board of directors, have each been honoured with independent industry awards acknowledging the strong and continuing commitment they have demonstrated to the screen and digital printing technologies over a combined 83 years.
Caza was presented with the prestigious Howard A. Parmele Award during the SGIA Expo in Las Vegas. Involved in the screen printing community since 1954, Caza has worked with artists such as Dali, Matisse and Warhol. He became a founding member of Fespa in 1962, and has also played an active role in the SGIA. His unswerving commitment to the industry has seen him collect a host of awards since that time and led him to be inducted into the Academy of Screen Printing Technology, where he served as chairman in 2003.
Rodríguez Delgado has also accepted an award in acknowledgment of his dedication to the print industry. The “Tribute of the Year 2010” Pixel Award was presented during a special ceremony at the Viscom Sign Exhibition in Madrid, in recognition of his career in the national and international graphic arts markets.
Delgado began his career in print in 1982 in the outdoor advertising sector until 1984 when he became president of Panorama a leading screen printing company in Spain. Having founded AEDES, the Spanish Association of Screen Printers in 1990, he joined the Fespa board in 1995. Following this he served as Fespa’s president from 2002 to 2005.
