Throughout his career, Kupka has demonstrated a remarkable ability to drive revenue growth, expand market presence, and build lasting customer partnerships. His most recent role as Director of Sales at Saati Americas showcased his talent for developing market‑penetrating sales strategies, strengthening key customer relationships, and collaborating cross‑functionally to elevate service delivery.

“We are thrilled to welcome John to our executive team,” said Bob Keller, President of Marabu North America. “His extensive industry background, customer‑first mindset, and track record of driving measurable growth make him the ideal leader to guide our Screen & Pad Printing Division into its next chapter.”

Outside of the office, John is an enthusiastic home chef and guitarist, and he’s eager to rekindle his longtime passion for fly fishing. A Louisville, Kentucky native, he has recently made Charleston his new home and is excited to embrace life in the Lowcountry.

In his new role, Kupka will oversee national sales strategy, strengthen distributor and customer relationships, and lead initiatives aimed at expanding the company’s market share in both screen and pad printing technologies. He can be reached at jkupka@marabu.com.
