A Special Message To Our Valued Customers FROM THE DESK OF MIKE JOHNSON I’m sure many of you saw Tom’s note in the last newsletter talking about my new role as president of JP. My parents started this company in 1970 and have watched it grow from the basement of our house to what it is today -- a valued partner to thousands of loyal customers and a recognized leader in the engraving and sublimation world. Over the years I’ve had the opportunity to learn how to run a business from the ground up, and I’ve been blessed to learn from someone who has always focused on what is important: doing everything in our power to meet the needs of our customers. As we move forward I promise that we will continue to focus on providing:
• Quality products from the leading manufacturers in our industry • World class customer service • Quick, dependable delivery from our nine locations nationwide • Competitive pricing I look forward to leading JP into the future using the values and lessons I learned from my parents. And I look forward to continuing our commitment to taking care of you, our valued customers! Thank you for your business!

Welcome Zak Plastics Customers
New Responsibilities...
We are pleased to announce the purchase of Zak Plastics of Stoughton, Massachusetts. A longtime supplier of engraving plastic in the Northeast, Zak Plastics had a very loyal customer base. As of Oct. 27, 2014, those calling Zak Plastics are automatically being routed to the friendly CSRs at JP. Most of those customers will be served by JP’s Albany, New York branch which opened Oct. 1 of last year.
Dave Curtis is moving from warehouse to CSR in Illinois.
“We are happy to welcome Zak’s customers to Johnson Plastics,” said Mike Johnson, JP president. “Ken Zak is a respected businessman who served his customers well for over 20 years. We trust they will find Johnson Plastics to be just as committed to serving their needs in the future.” In order to help make the transition as smooth and easy as possible, Johnson Plastics has added a number of items that Zak customers had been purchasing from Zak Plastics.
