Graph-Tech USA (GTUS) was founded 2002 by Markus Portmann to develop new business for GT products in the Americas. In the traditional printing industry (selective binding, mailing) and in new markets (label, gaming and card personalization). GTUS became a long-time reseller of GT products in 2012. CPST was created in 2003 by Roger Potvin and made the first successful vacuum transport card personalization system with the new DOD inkjets and complete product integrity with the GT system controller. These systems remain the most productive in the industry. DPST has been a leader in the card industry since the beginning and has since developed business in the tag and label industry. Innovative packaging automation is a driver. DPST is very well known for cutting-edge ink solutions (DPST Inks) made here in the USA. With the merger of GTUS and DPST in October 2012 the combined technical and customer service teams of each of these successful organizations bring a unique offering to the industry with experience in providing complete and retrofit custom solutions for the Tag, Label, Card, Mailing, Packaging, and Specialty Printing industries.
