As President of the Engineering Products Division, Antony oversees all aspects of Pamarco’s carbon fiber doctor systems business worldwide.

Antony graduated with an HND in Business and Marketing from Salford University, followed by a diploma from the Institute of Marketing. He has written several technical papers on flexo and is a contributor to AICC seminars designed to help improve understanding of the flexo process. Antony has thirty years of experience in print. Starting his career at Cobden Chadwick, an innovator in corrugated pre-print and tissue, he subsequently became Sales Director at Synpro M.I., a specialist in prototype film and paper conversion equipment and first-generation servo driven flexo units.

In 2000, Antony founded a specialist carbon fiber doctor blade company which he subsequently purchased and renamed Absolute Engineering. Over the following decade, Absolute expanded and developed into the world’s premier supplier of carbon fibre doctor blades. In 2014, he sold the business to Pamarco and now heads up the Engineered Products Division.
