Dingley joined Matthews in 1994, and in his time with the company has worked through different departments in various roles, beginning with customer service, then progressing through marketing, product management and software product development.

“At Matthews, we value and reward talent, commitment and passion. I am confident that Mark will continue to take Matthews on the growth and innovation journey that we began almost 35 years ago,” the managing director of Matthews Australasia, Lester Nichol, said.

Dingley said he was looking looking forward to taking on the GM’s role for operations.

“My strengths are in management, project management and business development, and I’ll keep using these skills to further develop the company as we continue to support and improve the efficiency of Australian manufacturing businesses and their supply chains with market-leading intelligent identification solutions,” he said.
 
Actively engaged in the industry, Mark is also chairman of the Australian Packaging & Processing Machinery Association (APPMA) and is involved with track and trace organisation, GS1 Australia. He has a Bachelor of Science (Computer Science) degree from RMIT University.
