FLM Graphics announces that Frank M. Misischia has assumed the role of President

Stepping down from the role of President, Vince Fiorello, who has been in that role since March 2003, will remain an active executive member of FLM’s board of directors.

FLM is a diversified company; they operate a “reprographics” division (FLM Reprographics), and they have long been involved in digital printing (and technology services related to business solutions.)

FLM is based in Fairfield, N.J. Years ago, I (and other senior officers at NGI) had the opportunity to meet Frank L Misischia (founder, Chairman & CEO) and Vince Fiorello (immediate past President) when they visited us at our offices in Tampa, FL. Frank L is Frank M’s father. Frank M is an attorney by background; evidently, he decided, back in 2007, that the imaging business and industry would be a whole lot more fun than the legal industry.

Congratulations to Frank M on his appointment to the role of President; best wishes and good luck!
