“We are delighted to welcome Andrew to the TransAct team as we further strengthen our global sales and marketing capabilities,” said Mr. Shuldman. “Given Andrew’s many years of success, and in particular with companies that are similarly focused on printing and software solutions, his decision to join the Company in this new role is an endorsement of our powerful brand and product lineup and should serve to accelerate our evolution into a leading provider of high-quality, high-reliability printing solutions for customers across multiple industries worldwide. Andrew brings to our organization a wealth of experience in building teams that have taken products and services to new heights. I look forward to working alongside Andrew to enhance our sales and marketing efforts and create a world-class team that serves as a strong advocate for our innovative products and I am confident that he will drive success across our business in the coming years.”

Over the course of my career, I have worked with companies large and small and built sustainable sales momentum for a wide range of products, including a number of printer-based innovations. As a team, we are confident that we can build on TransAct’s strong position in the casino and gaming space for both the Company’s industry-leading Epic printers and unique Epicentral bonusing and software solution, continue to expand the customer base for our innovative Ithaca food safety terminals. I also look forward to furthering the Company’s momentum with Printrex as the top provider of color printers for the oil and gas exploration industry and further expand our consumables business across the product lines. And finally, I am truly excited about the market potential of TransAct’s newest brand, Responder, for the fast growing mobile printer market”
