ARC Increases Employment and Expands Reprographic Services

Thursday, June 23, 2011

Press release from the issuing company

CLEVELAND – ARC, the nation's leading provider of reprographics services and technology, continues to expand in the Cleveland area by providing new job opportunities and technological enhancements to better serve their customers.

Previously known as eBlueprint in MidTown Cleveland, ARC is increasing its national network as locally branded stores adopt the parent name. ARC's Northeast Ohio customers have grown to depend on the company's high service standards, and although the name has changed, dedication to producing quality products still remains the highest priority.

Cleveland's ARC has also recently restructured their color services to introduce the brand Riot Creative Imaging, which specializes in large format digital graphics such as banners, rigid signs, vehicle and wall wraps, tradeshow graphics and much more.

As a result, Cleveland's ARC has remodeled their existing facility and added five employees to the Riot team in the last eight months, a number the company expects to see increase. In addition, the company has expanded production hours and invested approximately $500,000 to improve production capabilities and customer service. Revenue has doubled in the past year for the Riot brand.

"This is an exciting time for ARC," said Frank Loughan, Cleveland ARC's executive director. "We believe that in order to grow, we must invest in the best employees and most innovative technologies. We have embraced this philosophy in the past year and the results have been outstanding."

ARC's national network has supplied the company with the necessary tools to give employees better opportunities and provide local customers with global resources. Technologies such as a new digital routing system have allowed ARC to expand product lines and decrease turn times, thus allowing the company to become more efficient and service more clients in a shorter amount of time.

To celebrate the company's success and introduce the Riot brand, ARC is hosting an open house on Thursday, June 23, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at ARC's office, located at 3666 Carnegie Ave. in Cleveland.

"Riot Creative Imaging was conceived to provide more complex and specialized color support requested by customers," said Loughan. "ARC is well positioned for the future of digital technology and we are eager to celebrate our growth and new services at our open house."
