Scott Schinlever has re-joined EFI as chief operating officer for the company’s global inkjet business. Mr Schinlever, who has already taken up his new position, has been charged with further expanding EFI’s industrial inkjet portfolio, while facilitating the analogue-to-digital transformation throughout the industry for EFI’s current and future customers.

Mr Schinlever, who was most recently president and COO of automation solutions for Gerber Technology, joined the digital print industry in the late 1990s, working with the Xerox. He has also previously managed the marketing, growth and development of EFI Vutek printers and other EFI inkjet technologies.

‘We are thrilled to have Scott back in the EFI family,’ said EFI Chairman and CEO Jeff Jacobson. ‘Our industry is at a critical inflection point. I joined EFI one year ago because I clearly understood that this is the best positioned company in the industry to drive the analogue-to-digital transformation in the industrial inkjet space. Under Scott’s leadership of the Inkjet Business, I am convinced that EFI will attain that leadership position across the diverse segments of display graphics, packaging, textiles and building materials.’

Mr Schinlever added, ‘It feels great to be back at EFI. In the two years that I have been away, much has changed, but the spirit of innovation and the strong desire to make our customers successful has remained strong and is increasing every day. I look forward to digging in, getting caught up, and working to take our inkjet businesses to a new and even more successful future.’
