Alex Zuckerman – (born January 1947) in Paris, France. His father was a U.S. Army Colonel stationed in Europe during WWII. Zuckerman studied at the Paris IEP Political Sciences Institute and graduated in 1968. He spent the next several years of his professional experience outside of France, mainly in the USA, Israel, and Germany. He is fluent in seven languages.

From 1971 to 1975, Zuckerman was the product manager in the French subsidiary of the U.S. group “COLT.”

In 1977, he founded FIMOR, now the largest exporter of squeegee material for the screenprinting industry worldwide, with exports to 85 countries. The company employs 85 employees at its four main sites in France, Germany, the USA, and China. Their headquarters is in Le Mans, France, 200 km west of Paris, where 100% of the squeegee material is manufactured.

FIMOR holds patents in various countries for approximately ten different inventions, mostly developed by Alex Zuckerman. In 1998, FIMOR pioneered the “Dual-Shore Squeegee” (often erroneously referred to as the triple-durometer squeegee) and the non-bending constructed squeegee known as “serilor® COMBI”.

Besides squeegee material and sharpeners, FIMOR has separate divisions devoted to electronic keyboards, passive electronic components, and PU rubber industrial applications.
