Fast-Track Firms -- On the Move

Gary Garner, founder and CEO of GLS Cos., is amazed every day at the success of his company. And, it’s no wonder. He started the business 24 years ago with a couple of his buddies and a small SBA loan. Back then, success was something he could only dream about.

Today, the prosperity of his printing operation is something that brings him great pride and joy. Garner and his executive team have grown GLS’ sales from less than a million in its first year (1984) to generating a million a month (1996) to the $65.4 million mark in 2007. Current clients include a mix of Fortune 500 companies, ad agencies and small- to mid-size businesses.
