TSC Miami Taps Custom Ink Veteran Eric Stockl as CEO to Spearhead Growth in On-Demand Merchandising

COLUMBUS, OH – May 18, 2026 – TSC Miami, a technology-driven provider of on-demand printing and fulfillment services, has appointed manufacturing and e-commerce leader Eric Stockl as its new Chief Executive Officer. The move signals a strategic intensification of the company's ambition to scale its operations and capture a larger share of the rapidly expanding market for custom merchandise.

Stockl, who brings more than two decades of global leadership experience, succeeds Steve Cochran, who will transition to the company’s Board of Directors, ensuring continuity in strategic oversight. The appointment comes at a pivotal moment for the industry, which is being reshaped by the growth of e-commerce, the creator economy, and accelerating technological advancements.

A New Era of Operational Excellence

Stockl’s appointment is a clear indicator of the strategic direction set by TSC Miami and its private equity backer, Trilantic North America. His resume is tailor-made for a company looking to optimize and scale complex, high-volume operations. Most recently, as Chief Operations Officer at Custom Ink, Stockl was a key architect of the company’s operational transformation, leading its shift towards more agile, digital, and on-demand production workflows. His work involved integrating advanced digital printing technologies to meet consumer demands for speed, quality, and personalization.

Before his tenure at Custom Ink, Stockl served as COO for C.H. Guenther & Son, where he managed a global network of 29 manufacturing facilities and oversaw the complex integration of six corporate acquisitions. This experience in managing a distributed international footprint is particularly relevant to TSC Miami, which operates a combined 550,000 square feet of manufacturing and distribution space in Ohio, Texas, and Juarez, Mexico.

David Coriell, Managing Director at Trilantic North America, highlighted the strategic fit of Stockl’s expertise. “Eric is a highly respected operator with deep experience scaling manufacturing and e-commerce businesses globally,” Coriell stated in the announcement. “Eric brings direct experience leading a scaled custom apparel and e-commerce platform through operational transformation, making him uniquely well positioned to lead TSC through its next phase of growth.”

Navigating the Booming On-Demand Economy

The leadership change at TSC Miami is set against the backdrop of explosive growth in the print-on-demand (POD) market. Valued at nearly $11 billion in 2025, the global market is projected to surge to more than $57 billion by 2033, expanding at a compound annual growth rate exceeding 23%. This expansion is fueled by several powerful trends: the structural shift to e-commerce, the rise of the creator economy where influencers and artists monetize their brands through merchandise, and a growing consumer preference for personalized products.

TSC Miami is positioned to capitalize on this boom with a comprehensive, tech-enabled platform. Its business is structured to serve a diverse client base, from large retailers to independent online creators, through its distinct divisions: Monster Digital, which specializes in high-volume, direct-to-garment (DTG) digital printing, and the legacy TSC division, focused on traditional screen printing. This dual capability allows the company to offer a full spectrum of services, from mass production runs to single, on-demand orders fulfilled directly to consumers.

Stockl’s appointment suggests a deliberate strategy to harness these market tailwinds more aggressively. His experience at Custom Ink, a direct-to-consumer powerhouse, provides him with unique insight into the dynamics of the e-commerce and creator end-markets that are central to TSC Miami's growth strategy.

The Technology and Supply Chain Imperative

In the modern fulfillment landscape, success is dictated by technological prowess and supply chain resilience. The industry is rapidly adopting automation, artificial intelligence, and advanced data analytics to manage inventory, optimize workflows, and predict demand. AI-powered tools are now used to generate designs and manage listings, while robotics and automated systems in warehouses reduce errors and accelerate order processing.

Stockl, who holds a degree in Electrical Engineering, enters an organization that has already defined itself as a “tech-enabled” provider. His challenge will be to deepen that technological integration to navigate industry-wide challenges, including persistent supply chain disruptions, rising material costs, and intense price competition. His own words reflect this focus.

“TSC has a strong foundation built on long-standing customer relationships, a talented team and capabilities that truly stand out in the market,” Stockl commented on his appointment. “I’m excited to join the organization and capitalize on our strengths to ensure consistent, profitable growth, while continuing to invest in operational and technology capabilities to better serve customers and make TSC a more valuable partner.”

The Trilantic Playbook and Strategic Vision

The CEO transition is a classic move from the private equity playbook. Trilantic North America, which made a significant growth investment in TSC Miami in August 2022, is known for partnering with founder-led companies and providing the strategic and operational resources needed to accelerate growth. Installing a CEO with a specific, proven skillset for scaling is a hallmark of this approach.

Cochran’s move to the Board of Directors, rather than a complete departure, signifies a planned and collaborative transition. It allows the company to retain his institutional knowledge while bringing in a new leader to execute the next, more operationally intensive phase of the growth plan. This strategic evolution is designed to transform TSC Miami from a successful, founder-led business into a market-leading, institutionally managed enterprise capable of competing at the highest level.

With Eric Stockl at the helm, TSC Miami is sending a clear message to the market. The company is doubling down on operational excellence and technological innovation as it aims to build a more resilient, efficient, and scalable platform to serve the future of retail and e-commerce.
