Gateway Printing -- Forging Good Relationships

"We'd had good, steady growth of 8 percent to 10 percent a year, to the point where we justified buying the 684," Peissig says.

The 26-employee shop may be puffing at full steam, but the past year has been an exciting time of change for Gateway Printing. The company relocated to a 15,000-square-foot facility last September that Peissig completely renovated, including a new roof, insulation and HVAC. He notes the company's power bill is about the same as it was in the previous 10,000-square-foot building.
