David A. Schawk
President and
Chief Executive Officer

Under David Schawk’s leadership, Schawk, Inc. has grown into a global business, bringing innovative, technology-based brand imaging solutions to consumer products companies and advertising agencies worldwide. His vision of transforming the company required repositioning the company’s core capabilities and realigning its business units to deliver the highest level of strategic value to clients. As part of this vision, the company acquired and integrated established companies into its global imaging network that extended its competencies along the supply chain, providing clients with an end-to-end solution.

Today, the clarity of David’s Vision 2020 plan focuses and guides Schawk employees all over the world toward this goal. With operations in Asia and Latin America— as well as in the U.S. and Canada— today, Schawk is the industry’s only true provider of global brand imaging solutions. David’s career at Schawk began more than 26 years ago in 1977 when he immersed himself in the business, managing one of the company’s prepress divisions.

Seven years later, he was appointed President and General Manager of Schawk Graphics. In 1992, David A. Schawk was appointed Chief Operating Officer of Schawk, Inc. then comprised of over 15 separate divisions. And in February 1993, he was elected President and CEO of Schawk, Inc.

Today, David serves as Vice Chairman for the Association of Graphic Solutions Providers and is actively engaged in the fundraising efforts of the United Way, for whom he has served as a Board Member. David A. Schawk is the son of Clarence W. Schawk.
