imaging Technology international (iTi), a global designer and manufacturer of high precision digital fabrication systems headquartered in Boulder, Colorado, announces the next stage of its international expansion with the appointment of Mr. Toshifumi Komatsu to the new position of Vice President and General Manager, Japan.

Prior to joining iTi, Mr. Komatsu worked for 24 years with IKONICS Corporation, most recently as Vice President for Technology where his duties included global new business development. He was actively involved in developing chemistries and products for the screen printing and digital printing industries. He most recently managed the development of a patent pending process utilizing a high precision flatbed inkjet system to produce mold texturing films. This project has given Mr. Komatsu an intimate understanding of the industrial inkjet market from a user perspective which will bring tremendous value to customers in Japan looking to integrate digital fabrication technology into their industrial processes.

“Japan is a very significant market for iTi and the appointment of Mr. Komatsu is an important step to better support our growing customer base,” said R. Bruce Morgan, CEO, iTi. “Mr. Komatsu’s strong background in research and development, and his hands-on experience in implementing inkjet in a complex industrial application, will bring great value to customers in Japan who are facing the challenge of implementing digital technologies into their industrial processes.”

“I am thrilled to have the opportunity to further develop and support iTi’s customer base in Japan,” said Mr. Komatsu. “I worked closely with iTi using their Lab2Fab concept for application development when I led the project at IKONICS to implement an industrial inkjet system. After 32 years studying and working in the United States, I am looking forward to returning to Japan to share my inkjet integration experience with companies developing digital fabrication technology.”

Mr. Komatsu’s appointment is effective immediately.
