Alon Bar-Shany takes over as active Chairman of the Board at Twine Solutions and former Kornit Digital Asia Pacific Managing Director and President Andy Yarrow as its Asia Pacific Regional Sales Manager.
“Twine has all the ingredients to become another Indigo in the textile industry based on a unique technology and the rapidly changing industry needs and potential for digital disruption. I am especially excited at the ability to help the company scale by helping its customers to grow and at the sustainability impact Twine brings to the market,” Bar-Shany said in a press release by Twine.
Bar-Shany also serves as the chairman of digital cutting and creasing machinery manufacturer, Highcon.
Welcoming Bar-Shany to the board, Twine CEO and co-founder Alon Moshe said, “I am pleased and honoured to welcome Bar-Shany to our board of directors and chairman. There are incredible similarities to the digital printing industry transformation and with Bar-Shany’s insights of more than 30 years across so many disciplines, he will help propel Twine forward. The pandemic has only fuelled and accelerated the market’s needs towards the ‘sell then manufacture’ paradigm enabled through Twine; speed and sustainability are pertinent keys, and we intend to keep delivering on the promise of our revolutionary technology”.
Andy Yarrow commented “Having worked in Asia Pacific for the past seven years, I have built a fantastic network, so was always confident the right opportunity would present itself and thankfully one of my former colleagues put me in touch with Twine.
“Twine is a start-up that is all about disruptive technology. My previous experiences have always been about working with technologies that are at the end of the process or supply chain. But with Twine, it’s more about the start of the process – dyeing of the fibre.
“Having been in this analog to digital transition business for 20-something years, working at Twine excites me as I’m involved with brand-new technology that I believe has huge potential, especially when you consider we are backed by investors such as HP, Landa and COATS, one of the largest global thread providers.”
“It’s exciting now to be in a position where I can work alongside the Twine team in Israel and Alon. He has got huge experience and knowledge on how to scale a business and I’m excited about the possibilities that lie ahead for us,” Yarrow added.
