ORACAL Appoints Mertz As New President

Jacksonville, FL - Oracal USA has announced the appointment of Randall Mertz as the company’s new President. Mertz previously served as the company’s Executive Vice President of Manufacturing. In connection with Mertz’s appointment the company also announced plans to consolidate its U.S. operations into a single location.

According to company Chairman and CEO, Holger Loclair, the consolidation will involve the closing of the company’s current corporate offices in Jacksonville, Florida and the relocation of key personnel and support functions to Oracal USA’s 250,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Black Creek, Georgia (a suburb of Savannah), which was completed in 2006.

“Since our entry into the U.S. market in 1996, Oracal has grown to become one of the leading brands of PVC vinyl films among sign shops and digital printers in the U.S., Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean,” said Loclair. “We are now entering a new phase in the evolution of this company in which our focus must expand beyond sales and service to include domestic manufacturing as well. These changes are a major step toward achieving that goal.”

Additional updates including new contact information will be issued as the relocation progresses. In the meantime, please feel free to contact any of the following Oracal management team members with any questions.
