Meet the Team: Meet Marco Antonio, Offset Printing Technician at Dugraf
In the printing industry, technology is essential. But there is one thing that remains irreplaceable: experience.
It is precisely this experience that Marco Antonio brings to the Dugraf team.
Marco began his career in 1990 as a young apprentice at Editora Abril through the Senai program. It was there that his passion for offset printing and the industrial environment was born—a passion that, more than three decades later, remains his primary professional motivation.
Throughout his career, he has worked at some of the leading companies in the Brazilian printing industry, including Editora Abril, Editora Takano, Ipsis Gráfica Editora, Nova Página, and Ativa Online. During this time, he gained expertise in every stage of the offset printing process, gaining experience ranging from operating the machines to holding leadership and supervisory roles.
This hands-on experience provides a broad understanding of the challenges printing companies face on a daily basis. This knowledge translates into something extremely valuable for Dugraf’s clients: technical support grounded in real-world production experience.
From the factory floor to the technical department
After more than 35 years in the printing industry, Marco is embarking on a new chapter in his career by joining Dugraf’s technical team.
This move marks the fulfillment of a professional goal he has held for many years: to work directly in technical support, sharing knowledge and helping customers achieve optimal performance in their printing processes.
For Marco, this new phase also reflects the trust that Dugraf places in its professionals.
"Dugraf's confidence in my experience, combined with the training and professional development opportunities the company offers, is a huge motivator for me. I believe that, with the company's full support, we will be able to make significant strides in the offset printing market throughout Brazil."
Knowledge that delivers results
Over its 30-year history, Dugraf has built its reputation not only on the quality of the products it distributes, but also on the specialized technical support it provides to its customers.
In an increasingly competitive market, the combination of high-performance supplies and technical expertise has become a strategic advantage for achieving productivity, process stability, and printing excellence.
Marco Antonio's arrival further strengthens this commitment.
His decades of experience in the printing industry have given him a deep understanding of the challenges associated with offset printing, from process adjustments and quality control to the pursuit of greater operational efficiency.
A journey guided by continuous learning
Among the quotes that have marked his career, Marco highlights a reflection attributed to Epictetus:
"First ask yourself what you would be; then do what you have to do."
A phrase that aptly captures a journey built on dedication, discipline, and a constant pursuit of knowledge.
Now, that knowledge is part of the Dugraf team.
Welcome, Marco.
We continue to work together, turning experience into results for the printing industry.
