Print industry leader Reuben Silva passed away late last month at the age of 60. Based in Mississauga, Ontario, Silva had served as Vice President of Sales, Inkjet, North America for Agfa since 2020.
The large-format printer company made the following statement on LinkedIn:
“It is with profound sadness that we share the news of the untimely passing of our dear colleague Ruben Silva. Ruben has been a driving force behind Agfa’s success for the past 18 years as he led the sales team in North America.
Ruben had a unique way of connecting with people and building long-lasting relationships. He cared deeply for our customers, the North American team, and Agfa. He was a mentor to many of us, working side by side to help us reach our fullest potential. His positive attitude and smiling demeanor made work fun. Ruben’s passing leaves a significant void in the company and the graphic arts community, but his legacy will continue to inspire us.”
