Major retail clients, like Pep Boys, have helped to drive and inspire the leadership at IPS, and are helping to fulfill the dreams of IPS founder, Sev Spagnolie.

While other kids his age were attending high school, Spagnolie was working in his parent's printing and publishing shop in southern California. Linotype, hot lead and offset print became subjects of choice for the young businessman and took precedent as Spagnolie quickly came to understand the meaning of hard work, enterprise and innovation.

While others his age were graduating from high school, the bright and amiable Spagnolie was graduating from hot lead to offset printing, an incredible innovation at the time in the world of printing.

After what seemed like a lifetime in the printing industry, he founded Integrated Printing Solutions in 1997 and immediately made a move into plastic card production and personalization - the only company at the time to market ingenious products of this sort.

As a result of Spagnolie's enterprise and innovation, and his commitment to employing the most respected business minds in the industry, IPS today is one of the fastest growing, independently owned companies in the print industry.

"I'm truly humbled by how our company has grown and appreciative of our talented employees who have made this possible," said Spagnolie.
