Ken Rendell retires from DS Chemport (Australia) this week, ending a 50-year career in printing and graphic arts.

He leaves roles as commercial associate director and national marketing and sales manager after 18 years with DSC. He was previously with distributor Printing Technologies, which was merged into Agfa Graphics in the late 1990s.

No replacement has been announced. Chief executive Peter Drozdowicz says Rendell contributed to rapid growth in all parts of the business in Australia and New Zealand and helped make DSC a leading brand.

“We would like to congratulate him for his outstanding achievement and to wish him a long, healthy and prosperous retirement,” he says.
