"The number one job of everyone at Tradeprint is to make our customers successful," said managing director Rod Scrimgeour. "We are proud to provide outstanding quality, reliability, delivery speed and service at very competitive prices. Thanks to the financial, technological, product breadth and supply chain strength at Cimpress, we look forward to delivering even greater value to our customers."
Robert Keane, president and CEO of Cimpress, also added, "resellers and graphic professionals greatly value reliable, professional, rapid delivery of high-quality, price-competitive products. With Tradeprint, we’ve found a partner that delivers consistently on those criteria thanks to a highly talented and focused team.
