Crazy ending to 2019!

In late December, Harper House (a creative studio located in Dallas TX for over a 100 years) decided to shut down. I received a call from their VP of Operations (Brandin Davis) who was looking to partner with JPG to provide continuous service to their existing client base. Brandin and I worked together in the past, he felt the reputation JPG has in providing service and quality we were the right company to partner with. Over the holidays, both the JPG and Harper House teams collaborated and put a plan of action together to transition the team and business. Together we put an agreement in place to ensure their core team of employee's would transition over to JPG North America starting January 1, 2020 and their client's production would not miss a beat.

Once the team transitioned to JPG we would then bring on their clients production work which includes (creative design, artwork, repro and photography). The main client is SpartanNash, a regional grocery distributor and retailer producing private label packaging goods. The new addition of SpartanNash will help accelerate the growth in North America, which were currently budgeted for a 30% growth in 2020. We're excited to have the new team members become a part of the JPG global team!

瘋狂的結局到2019年！

12月下旬，Harper House（位於德克薩斯州達拉斯的創意工作室已經有100多年曆史了）決定關閉。我收到了他們的運營副總裁（Brandin Davis）的電話，他希望與JPG合作，為他們現有的客戶群提供持續的服務。我和Brandin過去一起工作，他感到JPG在提供服務和質量方面享有聲譽，我們是與之合作的合適公司。在假期期間，JPG和Harper House團隊進行了合作，並製定了行動計劃以過渡團隊和業務。我們共同達成了一項協議，以確保他們的核心員工團隊將從2020年1月1日開始過渡到JPG North America，並且他們的客戶的生產不容錯過。

一旦團隊過渡到JPG，我們將為他們的客戶提供製作工作，包括（創意設計，藝術品，複製和攝影）。主要客戶是SpartanNash，這是一家生產自有品牌包裝商品的區域雜貨分銷商和零售商。新加入的SpartanNash將有助於加速北美的增長，目前據估計，到2020年，北美將增長30％。我們很高興有新的團隊成員加入JPG全球團隊！
