BIG NEWS!! Our long-awaited ABB robot has *finally* arrived… just in time for Halloween! Watch as our new “robot” takes its place by the Agfa Inkjet Solutions printing press—ready for action.

???? Did you know International Print Day is next week?? Yeah, us neither! Because for those of us in the printing industry, EVERY DAY is Print Day. ?? With Black Friday and holiday signage coming at us from all directions (sorry, no sneak peeks here!) we're up to our eyeballs in ink, cardboard, and caffeine. Not to mention the soothing soundtrack of tape guns riiiiipping over box after box after box. ?? (Is it just me, or does anyone else hear tape guns in their sleep?) The Gilson holiday elves start in September and won't stop until your stores look ?perfect? for the busiest season of the year! So, here’s to our fellow print, packaging and fulfillment professionals out there – YOUR hard work is what makes the magic happen behind the scenes. Keep calm and print on! ????? #InternationalPrintDay #HolidayRush #PrintingLife #RetailSignage #PrintingNeverStops

We are thrilled to announce Gilson's 2024 Salesperson of the Year: Arnie Lorenz! Arnie has consistently excelled in all the key metrics we prioritize as a sales organization, earning this prestigious award through his hard work and unwavering dedication to his customers. This year, Arnie also received a particularly meaningful honor—the inaugural John Edwards Sales Achievement Award. This award, named in memory of the late John Edwards, is presented to the individual who received the most overall votes in a peer survey that included categories such as Most Collaborative, Most Motivational, and Most Persistent, and Highest Integrity. For Arnie, this award holds special significance. John was not only a mentor but also a guiding force in Arnie’s career for decades. Receiving this award is a heartfelt reminder of the profound impact John had on so many of us. His legacy lives on, and he is greatly missed. Please join us in congratulating Arnie on these remarkable achievements and celebrating a truly successful year! ?? #SalesExcellence #SalesLeadership #TeamSuccess #Inspiration #Mentorship

We had a great time entertaining (and educating!) our guests from Meijer corporate offices yesterday during our World Environment Day celebration! Did you know that by utilizing our Consolidated Shipping program, we help Meijer eliminate more than 70,000 individual shipments each year when distributing their marketing materials to stores? Talk about environmental impact! And the cost savings... you do the math! It was great seeing so many familiar faces, as well as new team members, and exploring our 40+ year relationship with the Meijer team and the innovations we've developed together. Here's to 40 more! #worldenvironmentday #sustainability #innovation #graphics #marketing #visualmerchandising #design #print #investment #growth #success #partnership #grateful
