Sandy Alexander Expands Into Retouching, CGI

CLIFTON, NJ—Sandy Alexander announced its expansion into the high-end retouching and CGI arena. Sandy Alexander has entered the marketplace with the acquisition of a firm and the addition of several senior executives from digital and production services. The high-end creative boutique will be rebranded as SALT Studios and will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sandy Alexander.

SALT Studios is located in mid-town Manhattan and offers creative retouching, a full service CGI studio, in-house services for digital photography, a full prepress department for ad releases, and a full suite of asset management and on-line ordering tools.

"Expansion into the high-end retouching and CGI arena is a natural progression for Sandy Alexander’s long term strategic vision—of offering our clients the broadest array of value-added services in the graphics communications industry," stated Mike Graff, president and CEO of Sandy Alexander. "From digital workflow solutions to the final printed piece, Sandy Alexander has the flexibility and horsepower to provide the most impactful and efficient output for any marketing campaign regardless of substrate, size or quantity."

Several senior executives have also joined the company to lead SALT Studios, including Dan Anselmi. He was the previous owner manager of Imagecraft, a retouching firm. Anselmi has brought his team of retouchers and digital artists to Sandy Alexander. Their extensive experience in high-end retouching, image management and the CGI marketplace enables Sandy Alexander to serve the image-based cosmetic, fashion and jewelry industries.
