Wide-format inkjet printer\/cutter manufacturer Roland DG has made several changes to its board, including the promotions of directors Hidenori Fujioka to president and David Goward to executive vice-president (EVP).<\/p>\n

Fujioka joined Roland in 2014 as an advisor and streamlined its research and development (R&D) process to reach strategic goals more efficiently. He also strengthened and diversified the company\u2019s core technologies to support faster development of new value-added products. As president, he succeeds Masahiro Tomioka, who continues to serve as chair.<\/p>\n

Goward, meanwhile, is stepping into Fujioka\u2019s previous role, with responsibility for global sales, marketing and service. He joined U.S.-based subsidiary Roland DGA in 1994 and remains its director and CEO.<\/p>\n

At the same time, Katsuhiro Endo has been named outside director, Mitsuhiro Honda has been appointed external audit and supervisory board member and former vice-chair Robert Curtis has retired.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
