IMAGEN Brands, parent company of Crown Products and Vitronic, announced that it has hired Paul Lage as its new president, replacing former president Lori Kates.
Lage was previously at Gill-Line, where he was CEO since 2010. Gill replaced Lage with Jamie Fain last week.
“We are excited to have Paul join our team at IMAGEN Brands,” said David Walker, president and CEO of IMAGEN Brands’ parent company, EBSCO. “Paul brings a wealth of business experience, including years of committed service to the promotional products industry. I look forward to working with Paul and the team at IMAGEN Brands, as we continue to invest significantly in this business. We are committed to building a talent-driven, customer-centric business at IMAGEN Brands. We also wish Lori the best as she pursues other opportunities, and thank her for her leadership at IMAGEN Brands.”
Before his tenure at Gill-Line, Lage was with Norwood and BIC Graphic. He also served as PPAI chairman of the board, and is an inductee of the PPAI Hall of Fame.
“This is a wonderful opportunity with a great company,” Lage said. “We look forward to building on all the positive aspects of the company and creating even more exceptional products and experiences.”
