Screenbroidery (asi/305623) started in 2008 with founder Tom Rector working out of his living room selling T-shirts. Today the Indianapolis-based distributor offers a suite of services that include print automation, fulfillment, web stores, apparel decoration and a full gamut of branded merchandise solutions. The growth comes from what Rector describes as “customer obsession.”
“The ability to listen to your customer and understand what their needs are,” he says, “will always force your organization to evolve and adapt to the market.”
Meanwhile, Thumbprint (asi/293564) was founded 30 years ago by Greg Gill as a printing company, and now provides advanced technology, print automation and fulfillment capabilities. The company prides itself on building deep connections to uncover its clients’ business challenges and solve them, beyond what services the Orlando-based distributor already offers. “That’s when we start stretching beyond what we’ve known ourselves to be over the years,” says Brian Gill, president of the company and the son of Greg, “and find out how we can grow as a company to meet our clients where they need us to be.”
