Cerqa History

A History of Excellent Customer Service and Integrated Solutions

Cerqa History

Cerqa has a long history of providing excellent customer service and integrated solutions.

Copyright Printing, Inc., the predecessor to Cerqa, was founded in 1990 as a provider of print services. The company grew quickly due to its focus on customer service and soon needed additional facilities. This required Copyright Printing to open a new location in Austin, Texas, where the company occupied 33,000 square feet of manufacturing, warehouse and office space. In June 1999, Copyright Printing, Inc., was acquired by Nationwide Graphics and changed its name to Cerqa in order to better portray its commitment to providing customers with a full suite of supply chain management and print management solutions. In March of 2001 Cerqa continued its commitment to excellence by becoming ISO certified.

In response to Cerqa's major customer expanding into Nashville, Tennessee, Cerqa opened a 12,500 square foot facility in Nashville. for manufacturing, distribution and assembly operations. In September 2000, this space was expanded to 25,000 square feet, and in November 2010, an 85,000 square foot facility was purchased and the Nashville operation moved 15.5 miles southeast to LaVergne, Tennessee.

Cerqa's continued growth once again required expansion in Austin and in January 2007 Cerqa consolidated its two Austin facilities into the current 88,000 square foot facility. In January 2009 Cerqa opened a 10,000 square foot facility in El Paso, Texas to act as an outsourced order fulfillment center in order to expand its international capabilities through Mexico.

In October 2011, Nationwide Graphics was purchased and re-branded as Nationwide Argosy Solutions to re-energize the ideas and goals of the corporation as a leader in the print fulfillment industry. This new identity focuses on the company’s powerful proprietary software, Argosy and its capabilities not only as an important asset to the company but to its hundreds of clients.

Cerqa's continued growth over the last 19 plus years has derived from it's commitment to providing superior customer service and continually enhancing services to fit customer's needs.
