September 1, 2011
As American Solutions for Business ended its fiscal year on June 30, 2011, the company had many reasons to be thankful. Besides marking its thirtieth year in business, American has once again returned to sustained profitability. Furthermore, American was named the nation’s number one distributor last month by Print Solutions magazine.
Having successfully completed its new ERP (enterprise resource planning) system, American can once again proactively focus on sharing the American story with salespeople and companies in search of positive opportunities for change.
This week, CEO Larry Zavadil announced the agreement between American and a division of Advance Business Graphics (ABG) of Mira Loma, California. The ten sales associates and support personnel joining American are located in Orange, California, Hoffman Estates, Illinois, and Irving and Bellaire, Texas. These offices have focused on the healthcare industry, credit unions and other traditional transactional business. In addition to the ten associates, five customer service individuals will make the transition to American. In 2010, fiscal sales for the ABG group were approximately $8.4 million.
“We’re pleased to welcome the ABG group to the American Family,” said Larry Zavadil, CEO of American Solutions for Business. “With their expertise and skilled customer service support, we see significant opportunities for growth.”
Based in Glenwood, Minnesota, American is an industry-leading distributor of printing, promotional products, eCommerce, office supplies and strategic marketing solutions. The company was founded in 1981 and now has approximately 550 sales associates, a support staff of nearly 200 Home Office employees and 30,000+ clients. American became employee-owned in 2000.
