Founder Harvey Saltzman announced today that he has appointed son David as the new president of Triangle, with daughter Bonnie Dayan named vice president of sales and marketing.

In addition, long-serving executive Steven Farber has been appointed vice president of technology services.

After 51 years as president, patriarch Harvey Saltzman moves to the position of chairman, where he will remain active in the company's day-to-day operations.

Upon receiving a bachelor's degree in accounting and finance from the University of Arizona and earning his CPA licence, David Saltzman practiced accounting for two years before joining Triangle in 1985, where he has concentrated on managing the company's financial and manufacturing operations.

In his new role as president, his goals include investing in new equipment and technology, facilitating employee training and actively seeking out strategic sales and acquisition opportunities to expand Triangle's capacity and capabilities.

A 1979 graduate of the University of Illinois, Bonnie Dayan spent the first two years of her career working as a recreational therapist before joining Triangle as a member of the sales department, where her efforts in sales, marketing and public relations have played a crucial role in the company's dramatic revenue growth, added Triangle.

Steven Farber is also a graduate of the University of Illinois.

An 18-year employee of Triangle, he has not only been in charge of the company's pre-press department but has also had a number of other responsibilities, particularly in cultivating and servicing many of Triangle's flagship clients.

He has also been directly involved in the procurement of the company's pre-press equipment, as well as its new on-line ordering and variable data printing technology.

Harvey Saltzman commented: "I'm proud of the new management team's consistent record of achievement over the years.

I am grateful to David for his leadership, for his organisational skills and for strengthening the fiscal foundation of the company and to Bonnie for brightening the company's culture, introducing and implementing inspired marketing programs and tirelessly publicising our many awards for printing excellence.

Steven deserves credit for his unflagging efforts in ensuring Triangle remains at the forefront of the graphic arts industry in craftsmanship, innovation and client service." Harvey Saltzman started Triangle in 1995 with working capital of just US$250 and 48 square feet of rented office space.

Today, as a full service graphic arts provider complete with electronic pre-press, as well as digital and conventional printing, Triangle occupies its own 44,000 square foot facility in Skokie, Illinois (USA).

Triangle now offers its clients photography, copywriting, design, mailing fulfillment, and radio creative and production services.

But perhaps what the Saltzman family is most proud of is its 51-year history, its staff and the relationship the team enjoys with management.

The company added that of Triangle's 48 employees, half have been with the company for over 10 years.

The company has also been recognised by PIA as one of 'the best workplaces in America' and listed on the honour roll of The Centre for Companies that Care.

Asked what his duties as chairman would consist of, Harvey Saltzman said: "My plan is to be involved as a mentor, cheerleader, guiding hand and confidante and to be helpful in new-idea and project development.

I will have more time to spend on my charity work on behalf of City of Hope and the new Illinois Holocaust Museum and Education Centre, not to mention my other passion - representing Triangle on the golf course.".
