Quinlan, of Centerville, Ohio, passed away in August 2021, surrounded by his family at a hospice in Dayton. During a lengthy career in the industry, he served as pres- ident of Esko North Americas for more than seven years across two terms. “Mark’s vision of demonstrating the capabilities of end- to-end automation has been brought to reality in our new technology center,” said Bennett. “As well as enabling the team to showcase the latest flexo platemaking and pre- press technologies, either in person or virtually, the center is also an ideal base from which to dedicate our focus on the customer to Mark. He was totally committed to build- ing a deep understanding of customer challenges, to lis- tening to and addressing their specific needs, and that’s something that we are equally committed to and able to live up to from this facility. We’re incredibly proud to dedi- cate the center in Mark’s name.” Quinlan’s wife Julia, and children Sean and Kevin and Kevin’s wife Pam, joined colleagues and invited guests to mark the official renaming of the Esko facility at Gander Creek Drive, Miamisburg, Ohio.
