INX International Ink Co. announced the retirement of John Hrdlick as president and CEO, effective April 30, 2023. At that time, Bryce Kristo will be promoted and serve as the new president and CEO. Hrdlick began his current position in April 2018, when Rick Clendenning retired. Kristo was promoted at the same time to executive vice president. The two will work together over the next several months to ensure a smooth transition.

“I am honored that SAKATA INX and INX have trusted me to serve as president and CEO, especially since I followed Rick Clendenning. He was a strong force and leader in our company, and industry, for so many years,” Hrdlick said. “I could not have achieved what I did without the many dedicated co-workers that I’ve been blessed to work alongside. They are the core reason for the success of our company. I am confident with Bryce transitioning into my role, and the changes we agreed to move forward with in the past few years, INX is positioned for continued growth and success.”

“The last 31 years have been a tremendous learning and growth experience,” Kristo said. “INX has given me the opportunity to contribute to the company’s success, from its inception as a newly acquired entity of SAKATA INX, to the present. I have had the great pleasure to learn from many long-term co-workers about the business, and I look forward to applying that knowledge and helping others to lead the company into the future.”
