Expanding in a global fashion

It's a message of quality that Motivating Graphics has worked diligently to spread on a global scale. Ray S. Clark originally founded the company in Dania, Fla., in 1976, and focused its capabilities on the printing of brochures and manuals. By 1998, Clark's son Ray Glenn had taken the helm, and led the company's move into a complete in-house printing plant in Deerfield Beach, Fla., which included prepress, press room, bindery, packaging, and inspection departments. In 2003, with Ray Glenn's two sons, Chris and Tim now added to the management team, the company transitioned to a new plant in Fort Worth, Texas, which marked the company's formal entry into the packaging market. The plant, explains Chris, was specifically designed "to conform to customized products, specialty packaging, and high-yield operation" capabilities. After a 2006 expansion, this plant now occupies 175,000 square feet.
