Carlstadt, NJ - Pictorial Offset Corporation, in order to proactively serve its west coast clients, recently opened its newest office, located in Los Angeles, California.  The graphic arts company has already been offering its clients quality, eco-friendly services for over 70 years from its east coast location.

Donald Samuels, Managing Director said, "The opening of the LA office helps us leverage our manufacturing and distribution platforms for west coast clients.  Since a large proportion of our clients' promotional and collateral materials are delivered on the east coast, it allows our clients to maximize both service and economic savings by distributing from our New Jersey location.  Many of our clients on the west coast have found this to be a very strategic partnership, and we look forward to introducing our unique solutions to new prospects, especially in the biotech and pharmaceutical arenas."

Pictorial Corporation, having received numerous awards over the years for its consistent leadership in environmental initiatives, remains the sustainability leader among commercial printing companies.  It was for this reason that Steve Mahr, Senior Vice President and newly appointed head of west coast sales and operations, chose to align his talents with Pictorial.  "I was attracted to Pictorial," Mahr said, "because of their long history of environmental stewardship, unique solutions-based approach to print and distribution, and their historic growth record." Mahr continued, "When you look at all those benefits, coupled with Pictorial's unparalleled production capacity, I am thrilled to be part of this great organization."  Mahr brings to Pictorial over 25 years experience in the industry and an extensive working knowledge of the pharmaceutical, biotech and cosmetic industries.  That knowledge, combined with his strong environmental background (having owned the first tri-certified COC shop west of the Mississippi), made him "the logical and perfect choice to head our West Coast division."
