Gregory

With almost 50 years of experience and growth, Gregory, a national distributor of graphics and sign making materials and supplies, recently announced an exciting new partnership with Mutoh America Inc. and Scanvec Amiable. The strategic partnership was announced earlier this month at the ISA 2005 trade show in Las Vegas, Nevada. The new partnership with Mutoh and Scanvec will allow Gregory to expand its product offerings to include digital printing equipment and software. “We began our search for a digital printing manufacturer about a year and half ago,” states David Wierengo, Gregory’s Chief Operating Officer. “Already equipped with a full service graphics division and established as a supplier of sign making materials and supplies, we felt that this was the only major part of the industry not represented at Gregory.”

The decision to partner with a digital printing manufacturer is one that Gregory took very seriously. “In the past, we have always made it a goal to specialize in only the industry’s leading brand names and to align ourselves with the industry’s top products,” Wierengo says. “We employed this same attitude towards finding a digital printing manufacturer. Our customers look to us as experienced professionals and they have come to expect only the highest quality products from us. We only wanted to represent a manufacturer that we felt confident in and that was well thought of in the industry.”

With these goals in mind, Gregory diligently researched and interviewed virtually all of the major manufacturers in the industry. After serious consideration, Gregory determined Mutoh was the perfect fit for the partnership. According to Wierengo, “Mutoh offered the entire package; with the value, quality, service, and reliability Mutoh offers, they were the obvious choice.” Not only does Mutoh provide an outstanding product that is well known and respected in the industry, it also provided Wierengo and the team at Gregory with a strategic partnership they felt confident in. “We feel very good about the values and ethics of Mutoh and its employees. They are good people who want to do good things in the industry,” Wierengo states. Mutoh’s similar business beliefs and popularity in the industry has allowed Gregory the opportunity to expand their product offerings while maintaining their first-rate reputation.

Founded in 1956, Gregory’s commitment to remaining at the forefront of new technology and old-fashioned customer service has made them a well-known name in the industry. Gregory is the only national distributor in the United States to offer their customer’s wholesale graphics manufacturing, material distributor services, and now equipment and software. Their reputation for service and quality has allowed them to serve over 17,000 businesses.
