"My passion for the garment decoration industry is truly a family affair!"
By Anders Rask:
More than 50 years ago, back in the 1950s, my grandfather was a simple sign-maker in a small town in Denmark, when he first started using screen printing in his workshop.
Picking up the technique from my grandfather, my father, the middle of three sons, became irredeemably hooked on screen printing.
So, ten years later, when my father was still only in his early twenties, he opened up his own screen printing business in the North of Denmark.
Initially the focus was on sign-making, but gradually direct-to-garment screen printing came to dominate, and further down the line again the company gradually began to specialize in screen printed heat transfers for garment decoration.
In 1977, the year in which I was born, my parents business was right on the verge of the most phenomenal period of sustained growth, and as I grew up I got the chance to be a part of that growth.
When I was only 6 years old I started working (as best I could) in their company. By the age of 12 I could run a flat-bed screen printer without help or supervision.
At the tender age of 19, after completing my military service with the Danish Army, I joined my parents company full-time.
Working with the company I project managed the start-up of an embroidery department, launched their first online webshop which, as an industry-first, turned out to be a huge success, and revolutionized the sales order handling and prepress processes.
I guess the point I am trying to make is that having inherited the knowledge handed down through three generations of the Rask family; you would have to agree that my passion for the garment decoration industry is truly a family affair!
When I founded RSK Tech in 2003, my ambition was to spread my positive experience with software technology to a wider audience within the garment decoration industry.
My goal which has also become "RSK Tech's mission is to make industry-leaders of our customers by being in the forefront of software technology."
