Mark Andy Names New CEO

St. Louis-based flexo press manufacturer Mark Andy has named PJ Desai as its new CEO, replacing Paul Brauss, who is retiring from the company after 12 years.

Desai formerly spent several years at chemical giant Monsanto, managing business groups before taking on the positions of CFO, President and CEO. He has a chemical engineering degree from MIT and an MBA from the University of Michigan.

Brauss, who retired effective January 1, arrived at Mark Andy in 1998 and took over as CEO in 2003. He retains his position as an executive member of the board. 

“Paul has put us on the path for growth and robust profitability for the current and next generation of products from Mark Andy and Rotoflex,” said Kevin Wilken, COO of Mark Andy. “He has provided the leadership necessary to thrive in changing times.”
