TREND OFFSET PRINTING -- An Upward Trend

"When you look at our competitors, especially the national, multi-million-dollar printers like Quebecor World, R.R. Donnelley and the like, our nimbleness is very attractive to our clients. They like the ability that we have to react quickly."

The company has been reacting quickly since its inception in 1985 with a modest, 25,000 square feet of manufacturing space on a street corner. Trend Offset now encompasses 90 percent of the street, roughly 31⁄2 city blocks. In under 17 years, the company has grown to more than 1,000 employees (600 in Los Alamitos alone) and boasts a little over 700,000 square feet of space, with another 80,000 slated over the next 12 months.
