Who will run Linotype GmbH?
Frank Wildenberg has been named managing director of Linotype, succeeding Bruno Steinert, whose 33-year history with the company spanned a variety of roles, from photocomposition systems trainer to managing director. Steinert decided to retire from Linotype as of September, 2006, capping a successful 45-year career in the print media industry. He has been a major force in the type marketplace, having built Linotype into a profitable, sustainable business. Steinert will remain on board for the remainder of the year as a consultant, working closely with Monotype Imaging to ensure the successful alignment of both companies.
