Graphic Enterprises and Graphic Intelligence Agency Team Up to Offer Enhanced Services

April 26, 2004 (North Canton, Ohio). Graphic Enterprises Inc., with world headquarters in North Canton, Ohio and the Graphic Intelligence Agency based in Akron, Ohio, have announced a strategic alliance which strengthens the services each company offers its customers. Each of these privately owned organizations is a leader in their segment of the fast growing digital imaging, large format printing and graphics technology markets.

The companies have agreed to give their respective account management and service personnel the opportunity to sell the unique products and services offered by the partner company. The Graphic Intelligence Agency (GIA) will begin offering their customers the field service of the GEICalGraph Division of Graphic Enterprises Inc. (GEI). In turn, GEI will sell the advanced color, product and workflow training programs created by GIA.

“Our partnership with GEI is truly symbiotic, with GEI offering their end users GIA’s classroom and on-site training and introducing manufacturers to GIA’s CD and web-based training and marketing,” said Eric Harsh, CEO of the Graphic Intelligence Agency. “At the same time, GIA will be able to offer a more complete package to our clients that includes GEI onsite and depot services and installations of wide format equipment and software.”

“This is a perfect example of our on-going commitment to enhance our existing value-added services and support for our customers,” said Mark Lewis, Chief Operating Officer of Graphic Enterprises Inc. “We have enrolled our own personnel in GIA classes for years and know first hand their expertise in advanced color management and interactive video production.
