In 1989, T/O Printing's opening in the mostly residential town of Westlake Village, California made no headlines in even the local news. Its beginnings were humble, starting with only three employees in barely 3,000 square feet of hidden industrial space and managing close to $500,000 in its first year's sales. In the years that followed and in not one but two around-the-corner moves to larger buildings totaling over 60,000 square feet, T/O Printing has indeed grown-up.
It matters not whether this company's start was large, medium or small. What mattered were the philosophies of its founders that drove it to the success it is today. T/O Printing realized from the start that to build a company solely on the basis of product or price would be insufficient. To create a truly perceptible difference between them and their competitors they had to meet and exceed the highest standards of customer service. To further seize their competitive advantage, they knew they needed to build an organization that continually expanded their range of services. They needed to continually provide faster turnarounds and better pricing, and, lastly, they needed to surround themselves with employees that shared their commitment. With these founding principals, T/O Printing embraced its tremendous growth.
And, grow it did! In just under 12 years, T/O Printing has grown to over 160 employees with a projected millennium year sales volume of over $ 22 million. By offering distinctive printing, mailing and digital services, T/O Printing broadened their customer base. With expansions of these multitude of services which include database management, CD duplication, variable data services, asset management, soft and hard books, and extensive bindery finishing, T/O Printing's customers could now centralize their print buying while still enjoying the highest standards in customer service.
T/O Printing joined the team of Consolidated Graphics, Inc., a New York Stock Exchange, publicly traded company in July, 1999. With Consolidated Graphics being a national leader in bringing new technologies to its customers, it is no wonder that T/O Printing and its mirroring philosophies became a perfect match. With over 60 locations within its organization, Consolidated Graphics is determined to maintain its superior customer service while incorporating the highest quality, state-of-the-art equipment the graphics industry offers.
