From the Beginning...
Bill James was a Journey Class press operator for Dupont and later served as both Plant Manager and General Manager for a large Philadelphia printer. Capitalizing on his background in manufacturing and management, Bill James and three experienced partners opened their own company on June 28, 1977. Management focused on accurate color and print quality to capture sales. Committed to technology and training, the partners implemented a strategy for controlled growth, including the acquisition of pre-press equipment in 1989. As planned, the purchase became a milestone that catapulted Triune into the future. Soon recognized for its expertise in color management, the company concentrated on improving service levels. As a result, steady growth in the pharmaceuticals, healthcare, and financial markets established Triune as a major supplier in what became a highly competitive arena for commercial sheet-fed printers. Triune Color also remained loyal to core accounts, producing color brochures, catalogs, pocket folders, pamphlets, inserts, greeting cards, and direct mail pieces for Fortune 500 companies, ad agencies, and design firms. By 1996, however, buying patterns reflected an increasing demand for improved services. The company experienced rising production costs, tighter pricing, and the need for quicker turnaround. Digital services and communications replaced conventional pre-press operations and continued growth meant new online services and high-speed manufacturing capabilities that answered buyers’ demands. In 1997, the company relocated to state-of-the-art facilities in Cinnaminson, NJ. Since then, eighty-five employees have provided integrated services to clients throughout the northeast, i.e., web-based print management, WAM!NET® capabilities, Computer to Plate, high-speed bindery, and specialty packaging. Today, the organization remains committed to quality standards, customer satisfaction levels, employee development, and forward thinking. For thirty years, Triune has survived market trends, economic conditions, government regulations, organizational changes, aggressive competition, and growing pains. Management’s entrepreneurial spirit persists. The sole owner intends to expand the company’s market position and grow steadily through continued capital investment in new services and equipment. As today’s print market changes, Management plans to meet those challenges. Management remains optimistic about the company’s future. As the economy responds to turbulent times, Triune’s mission is clear – to meet the needs of valued customers and ensure that service levels remain consistent. Given its performance in the past, Triune Color is equipped to meet that challenge. |
