INVER GROVE HEIGHTS, Minn., March 30, 2010 — IGH Solutions, located in Inver Grove Heights, MN, received several honors for outstanding achievement in the annual Star of Excellence Awards, a statewide printing competition hosted by the Printing Industry of Minnesota, Inc (PIM), the largest graphic arts association in the world. The Star of Excellence Awards recognizes companies who produce the best in print media and promotes excellence in print communications.
Competing against entries from printing and graphic arts firms throughout the state, IGH Solutions received eight awards, including PIM's very first President's Award, which the company will be presented with at the Star of Excellence Awards Banquet on April 29, 2010.
PIM judges, as well as President David Radziej, selected IGH Solutions as the recipient of this prestigious award for their exceptional 3D poster titled Alice in Wonderland.
"The President's Award was created this year to acknowledge an outstanding printed piece that didn't exactly align within our existing categories. This was a close competition with a very impressive standard of entries, making the judging process very challenging. We wanted to honor IGH Solutions for their innovative advancements in 3D printing — the company and their employees should be very proud of this outstanding achievement," said David Radziej, president of PIM.
In addition to six Certificate of Merit awards, IGH Solutions was also granted a Best of Class award for the outstanding finishing techniques of the Nordstrom Birthday Treat gift card. The Certificate of Merit awards were given to recognize the Buckle gift card, as well as several lenticular posters and self promotion campaigns.
"IGH Solutions is delighted to be a member of a premier organization like PIM and takes great pride in the awards presented by the industry's best printers," said Ken Dishno, vice president of operations at the IGH Solutions, Travel Tags facility. "This is recognition of each member of our team, the value they bring and the passion that drives them to excel for the customer."
