Press release submitted on behalf of Cyngient

Cyngient LLC, a technology-driven provider of inks, coatings and adhesives for label and packaging converters, has announced the appointment of Mark Keenan as director of technical support.

Keenan brings more than 30 years of experience in the packaging printing industry, with a background that spans press operation, production supervision, technical training, and applications support. His hands-on expertise strengthens Cyngient’s ability to deliver high-level technical service and application guidance to its growing customer base.

Prior to joining Cyngient, Keenan served as a senior print technician at Mark Andy, a training specialist for Fastems, and operations training manager at Brook + Whittle. Earlier in his career, he worked as a flexographic press operator at Prime Package & Label and most recently held the role of technical support specialist at Maxcess/RotoMetrics.

In his new role, Keenan will support Cyngient customers with technical applications, including on-site validation of inks, coatings and adhesives. Based in St. Louis, his primary territory will include the Midwest region, while also providing support across Cyngient’s expanding national customer base.

During his time at Mark Andy, Keenan gained firsthand experience working with Cyngient products – an exposure that influenced his decision to join the company.

“I’ve been consistently impressed with how Cyngient products perform, from inks to coatings and adhesives,” Keenan says. “Just as important, the company is extremely easy to work with. I’m excited to bring my background in operations supervision and technical support to the Cyngient team and help customers produce innovative, high-quality labels and packaging.”

Andrew Wasserman, managing partner at Cyngient, says the appointment further strengthens the company’s technical leadership.

“It’s not the company that makes the people—it’s the people that make the company,” Wasserman says. “With Mark joining Cyngient, we are adding a rare combination of pressroom experience, plant-level leadership, and hands-on technical expertise. His career path—from press operator to training manager and applications specialist—brings real value to our customers.”

Wasserman adds, “Mark’s experience reinforces Cyngient’s commitment to performance, partnership and service excellence as we continue expanding into new markets.”
