Todd Abrams created Empire Graphics in 1991. He sold it in 1999. In the intervening years, Abrams turned a small printing brokerage firm into one New York printer slick enough to catch the eye of industry consolidator, Integrated Graphics.

Empire, growing to 75 employees over its eight-year existence, skyrocketed to become one of INC. Magazine's "Fastest Growing Companies" for two years straight.
