Classic Graphics in Charlotte, NC, held a 30th-anniversary party in April, where current and former employees gathered to celebrate three decades of growth.

“Classic was dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century,” says president David Pitts. But, he adds, it paid off. “Companies that are purely printing companies are an endangered species. And if we didn’t have our special sauce to add, we would be just like that.”

The folks at Classic in Charlotte, NC, demonstrated that they know how to throw a party, as the employee-owned company celebrated its 30th anniversary on April 12 with a "Thirty Rocks" themed bash.

Charlotte, NC-based Classic ushered in its 30th year in business with a day-long celebration. Approximately 375 people attended the 'Thirty Rocks' event, including Classic employees, vendor partners and customers. The day consisted of a flashback to the 80's with a live performance by Strange Brew and a group of Classic employees stood as the Cover band, showing off their musical talents.
