Following a serious accident in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, Vanguard Digital Printing Systems, A Durst Group company, has announced that David Cich will take a temporary medical leave of absence from the company to focus on his recovery.

With the combination of an incredibly talented Vanguard team – started by founders Dave Cich, Jim Peterson, and Jim Case – and the experience and size of the Durst Group collectively, everything currently in progress, including expansion into Europe and attendance at upcoming trade shows, will continue without interruption.

In the interim, Vanguard will be managed by Tim Saur, president and managing director of Durst North America, and Jim Peterson, co-founder of Vanguard and vice president of sales.

Vanguard Digital and the Cich family kindly ask that, out of respect for the family, please refrain from texts, phone calls, emails, and, most importantly, social media posts regarding this matter.
