Burmeister’s career highlights include a seven-year tenure as Canon USA’s Senior Director of Sales for the West Region, where he demonstrated expertise in driving regional growth. Prior to that, he served as Vice President of Western Sales/Channel Segment Leader for Eastman Kodak’s commercial B2B division, overseeing key areas such as plates, consumables, inkjet, workflow, and packaging. His international experience also includes a stint as Encad’s Executive Director for Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, based in the Netherlands.

Roland DGA’s CEO, Andrew Oransky, expressed confidence in Burmeister’s ability to lead the company forward. “Dan brings with him a wealth of print industry experience as well as the team-leading abilities needed to build upon Roland DGA’s incredible success,” Oransky stated. “He joins Roland DGA at a key point in the growth of our company’s sign and graphics business as well as its expansion into new and exciting markets.”

Oransky further emphasized that Burmeister’s leadership would be instrumental in fostering collaboration with Roland DGA’s staff, dealer network, and partners. The goal is to elevate the company’s performance while maintaining its reputation for innovation and customer satisfaction.
