About Us
In 1985, John Fox and Art Collins, burdened by the constraints of a large corporate environment with limited products and services, envisioned a company that could provide an unlimited breadth of marketing resources, from concept and design through production and fulfillment. At the same time, they sought to provide a comfortable work environment that encouraged an exchange of ideas and stimulated creativity. That vision our founders had more than 25 years ago is our reality today. Northern Print Network is now among the top 10 commercial print distributors in the country. We attribute our success to our excellent customer service along with continual improvement and the flexibility to quickly adapt to a dynamic market.
Our success has allowed us to attract the best and brightest account executives from the industry's premiere marketing firms. Additionally, we recruit and train customer service and IT professionals to support the service and solutions we offer clients. While other companies are cutting staff and reducing service, Northern is committed to growing by reinvesting in our people and our clients.
In the fall of 2008, co-founder Art Collins stepped aside and his son, Artie Collins Jr., assumed a new role as a Principal at Northern. Artie's energy and enthusiasm is infectious and he strengthened our commitment to growth as well as process improvement. His operational strengths and leadership are a perfect complement to the vision and creativity of co-founder John Fox.
In January of 2012, Northern merged with Clarity Corporation. Clarity brings an expanded network of resources and is an industry leader in the growing healthcare industry. Together as Northern Print Network, we will continue to expand our relationships with expert print and marketing resource partners. This expansive network enables Northern to provide our clients with the widest array of printing and production services available today, while maintaining excellent quality, competitive pricing and the flexibility to meet client needs.
Since our inception in 1985, we've grown from purely a distributor of printed products to a marketing service provider that offers clients a full spectrum of products and services. We can assist clients with virtually any type of marketing material from inception through creative to the final printed product. Northern integrates traditional print production with the dynamics and flexibility of digital technology, which allows clients to better tailor their marketing messages. Our NPN360 print and brand management enables us to offer clients a comprehensive solution to all of their marketing and fulfillment needs. We're proud today to say that Northern Print Network is the best solution for your print and marketing needs.
