Jeff Beck chosen to head Presstek

Presstek has named Jeffrey A. Beck as president and chief executive officer, succeeding David Savage who recently left Presstek to head another portfolio company held by Presstek’s owner, American Industrial Partners.

Presstek says that Beck has a strong track record of driving profitable growth across many technology focused business sectors. He says, “I am very excited to join Presstek during this stage of its renewal. Presstek has made excellent progress improving operational and financial performance since being acquired by private equity firm AIP in 2012.”

Prior to joining Presstek, Beck served as chief operating officer for iRobot Corporation and earlier there as president, Home Robots Division. Beck also served at Amtek Corporation as senior vice president and general manager of the Aerospace and Defense Division and he also had assignments at Danaher Corporation and Emerson Electric Corporation.

Presstek expects that his technology background, experience launching sizable service businesses and creating diversified and profitable business platforms will serve Presstek well in strengthening and building its core products and services portfolio.

He will drive the company’s strategy and vision for long-term growth and profitability. Presstek says its leadership team is excited to be working under Jeff’s guidance to develop new business opportunities, foster brand loyalty and strengthen existing relationships with customers and distribution channels.

Beck says, “I look forward to leading Presstek into the next exciting era, investing in Research and Development and launching new environmentally friendly print system solutions that help our customers remove complexities, chemistry, and waste from their production chain. Our goal is to foster strong customer relationships, achieve sustainable profitability, and enhance our position in the industry.”
