To PPAI

PPAI staff members visited

PANTONE

headquarters in

Carlstadt, New Jersey, in February to discuss opportunities to

continue to enhance the partnership between PANTONE and

the Association, and to tour its manufacturing facility. PPAI

Executive Vice President Bob McLean; Director of Business

Development Gary Slavonic, CAS; Affinity Programs Associate

Manager Lori Arrigunaga; and Creative Services Manager

Gretchen Demke met with PPAI’s new account rep, Reed

Brackenridge, manager, digital channels, as well as

PANTONE’s senior management and its marketing, operations

and sales personnel.

Brackenridge says, “PPAI is a long-time PANTONE cus-

tomer and we value the partnership. We view PPAI as the pre-

mier company in the promotional products market. It is a key

PANTONE partner and has demonstrated an excellent ability

to service a large untapped market of potential PANTONE cus-

tomers. In a few short years, PPAI has substantially grown the

Pantone business in the promotional products market. We

anticipate another great year in 2015.”

PANTONE’s production team applies strict standards and careful

inspection to ensure each color swatch, chip or dye is produced

accurately.
