Unimac Graphics -- Closing the Loop

By Erik Cagle

George Amann knows a trend when he sees one. Being a mere six or seven miles away from Manhattan has a way of keeping a commercial printer like Unimac Graphics in touch with the largest agencies, publishers, pharmaceutical and health care companies in the country.

Amann built then-Union Graphics from the ground up, literally, from his basement in 1979. In 1981 he rented out 2,000 square feet of space, took on some partners and dove head first into print work for trade and commercial accounts. He bought out his partners in 1985 and rode a boom in growth through 1995 while producing general commercial printing for the aforementioned markets.
