For Jim Kochanny, joining the ink industry came after what seemed like a disaster at the time. It actually turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
In 1979, Kochanny was laid off by General Foods, and looking for a summer job, joined Inmont. Now, 44 years later, Kochanny is SVP and COO at INX International Ink Company, and a deserving choice for NAPIM’s Pioneer Award.
