Digital printing company DataLase has announced a new board of directors after being acquired by Tokyo-based SATO, a global provider of Auto-ID solutions.

The new board of directors includes eight members who will provide their guidance and expertise to DataLase under SATO’s leadership as the company consolidates and enhances its presence in the rapidly growing global digital print market.

SATO acquired all DataLase shares in December 2016. The acquisition strengthened a successful strategic partnership that started in 2015 when SATO launched the subsidiary, SpeciaLase, in order to supply DataLase based solutions to Japan and the wider Asia-Pacific region.

Kaz Matsuyama, the President & CEO of SATO Holdings Corporation, is a key member of the board. Mr Matsuyama has been part of the core team that helped establish SATO’s presence in the global market.

The other seven members include:

Yasuhiro Tanabe – President and an Executive Officer at SATO International

Tetsushi Kondo – Managing Director at SATO Europe

Noriyasu Yamada – Chief Planning Officer at SATO Holdings Corporation

Yoichi Abe – Chief Financial Officer at SATO Holdings Corporation

Chris Wyres – CEO at DataLase

Andrew Wragg – Chief Operating Officer at DataLase

Craig Clement – Chief Finance Officer at DataLase

Dr. Chris Wyres said: “Each one of the board members has demonstrated a commitment to DataLase in recent months. I have no doubt that these individuals will make exceptional additions to our Board and that they will contribute greatly to the success of DataLase in the coming years.”
