Graphtec America announces move to new corporate office

Graphtec America, Inc., a leading manufacturer of precision imaging products for the signmaking, graphics, apparel, window tint, packaging and computer-aided design, data logging and acquisition platforms, announced that effective February 1, 2006, it will relocate to 1251 East Dyer Road. Suite 110, Santa Ana, CA 92705-5639. The company’s local and toll free phone and fax numbers will all remain the same.

Graphtec America, Inc. Vice President, Wayne Suraci commented, “We have been experiencing a major increase in demand across our product line, especially in wide format printers, large flatbed cutters, image scanners, and wide cutting plotters. In addition, we are launching a new consumer and semi-professional cutting plotter series, Craft ROBO. We needed more warehouse space to handle the volume and growth, especially with the increased size of the large format products. Our new warehouse and information systems will assure we maintain quick delivery times and enhanced customer service.”

Graphtec’s new office will also be more convenient for visitors (just 5 minutes from John Wayne Orange County Airport) located one block northwest of the 55 Freeway at Dyer Road/Barranca Parkway exit, between the 405 and 5 Freeways, two of Southern California’s main freeway arteries.
