National / AZON has announced the appointment of Rich Gigl as president. Gigl, who has been with the company for 15 years, steps into the role following the decision by Dave Dodge, former president, to transition out of the company after nearly 40 years of leadership.

"After nearly four decades of growing and nurturing National / AZON, the time has come for me to focus on new adventures," Dodge said. "I am incredibly proud of what we've built here, and I'm confident that Rich is the right person to lead the company into the future. His deep understanding of our industry, his proven leadership and his unwavering commitment to our customers and employees will ensure that National / AZON continues to thrive and innovate for years to come."

Gigl's promotion comes at a time when National / AZON continues to focus on both its deep industry knowledge and its commitment to customer service and operational efficiency. With a strong foundation built on decades of experience, the company is looking ahead to future growth, guided by Gigl's leadership and vision.

“National / AZON has built its reputation on providing quality, reliable products while fostering personal relationships with customers and partners,” Gigl said. "I'm excited for the opportunity to lead this company and ensure we remain responsive to the changing needs of the reprographics industry."

Building for the Future with Technology and Customer-Centric Values

A key priority for Gigl in his new role is advancing National / AZON's digital capabilities to improve operations and the customer experience. One of his primary goals is to implement online ordering platforms and improve payment portals, which will allow for smoother transactions and greater convenience for National / AZON's customers.

As part of his digital strategy, Gigl is also focused on expanding the company's in-house and virtual demonstration capabilities, ensuring that National / AZON's customers can engage with the company's products in innovative and convenient ways.

"We've built strong relationships with both customers and manufacturers over the years, and we pride ourselves on being a distributor that truly understands our customers' needs," Gigl said. "In today's competitive market, it's not just about price — it's about providing tailored solutions and being a trusted partner."
