ROCHESTER, N.Y., June 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Document Security
Systems, Inc. (AMEX: DMC) ("DSS"), a leader in counterfeit
prevention, product diversion and brand protection technologies
today announced that RFID and mass product serialization
expert, Gary Andrechak has joined
DSS as Manager of RFID Business Development. Mr. Andrechak
will work out of the DSS Plastics Division ("P3") facility located
in Brisbane, California.
Prior to joining DSS, Mr. Andrechak was RFID Product Manager for
the Security Solutions Group of Hitachi America, Ltd., focusing on
developing and commercialization practical end-to-end applications
for "Hitachi Mu-Chip", Hitachi's
radio frequency identification (RFID) technology designed as a mass
serialization and authentication inclusion for item level tracking
(ILT). Gary's work at Hitachi America led to his product
development, sales, and implementation experience in applying
RFID-based authentication technologies to single-use medical and
surgical items that must withstand harsh environments including
gamma-ray sterilization and high temperatures. Prior to his
work in RFID, Gary innovated ways of analyzing and deriving
added-value from item level, retail sales tracking market research
for the consumer packaged goods industry at Towne-Oller &
Associates in New York, NY, then a
subsidiary of Information Resources, Inc., of Chicago, IL. During this period, he was
appointed primary content liaison with the Wall Street Journal's
"MarketScan" feature column. Andrechak co-authored a book
published by the Mullaney Publishing Group LLP in June 2007 entitled, "RFID: Item Level Management:
A Practical Approach." Gary received his B.S. from
Manhattan College, NY with dual majors
in Marketing and Computer Information Systems.
CEO Patrick White commented, "The
hiring of Gary Andrechak is a real
win for DSS as he brings with him significant relationships with
many major Silicon Valley and multi-national companies.
Through Gary, DSS has already delivered a first order from
one of the Valley's leading consumer companies and he has scheduled
several meetings with other well-known technology companies for
item level RFID projects. Gary is also spearheading the
development of new RFID applications and products for our recently
acquired cloud computing division Extradev, Inc."
"To compliment our on-going relationship with RFID chip maker,
Alien Technologies, DSS has brought on an expert," stated
Jaeson Caulley, Vice President of
P3. "Having Gary join the company as a key member of our
business development team confirms DSS's continuing commitment to
engineering a superior RFID Track-and-Trace system that has new,
effective capabilities to achieve complete supply-chain control and
accountability using DSS serialization systems and solutions for
all manufactured products and packaging."
