Geographics Inc. wows customer with award-winning printing and its accommodations for press checks.

By Erik Cagle

Geographics is no longer down on its luck. Over the course of its now 30-year history, Hagan has built his company into a 200-employee, $50 million a year empire.

Left with an ancient Lum press and a rickety duplicator in 1976, Geographics now churns out half-web, full-web, sheetfed offset and digital printing. It furnishes catalogs, direct mail, corporate brochures and annual reports for Fortune 500 companies, franchisees and distributors. Ancillary offerings include mailing, fulfillment, database management and image bank storage.
