Experience Counts
Fernqvist’s sales team is made up of three regional sales people who each offer our customers 10+ years of experience working for our company. All that experience is an advantage to our customers as much as it is to our business.
Brian Mann :: Southern California — (714) 742-4730 — bmann@fernqvist.com
"I have been in the label and printer business since 1979 and watched the first thermal transfer printer come on the market. A lot has changed since that time and printing is much easier. Press printing has evolved into fast and easy 7 day turn — around while 29 years ago, it was a seven week wait. My experience has helped me to help the clients that I serve. I do have a lot of knowledge, just from my experience but I sometimes run into new problems that I have never seen before. I will still always go to someone with more experience to get the answer. I have enjoyed fantastic customer relationships over my career and in my 13 years with Fernqvist, I have met and serve many wonderful clients who have been with me for over a decade. I believe that comes from being honest and available. It also doesn't hurt to throw in some humor, once in awhile."
Duane Shepley :: Midwest, Texas, and the Southwest — (847) 551-1864 — dshepley@fernqvist.com
"Experience in the labeling business definitely has its advantages for both seller and buyer. Having done this for a few years now, I feel I’m much better able to find the right fit for customers not only in the look and quality of the label, but also in terms of holding up to whatever environment the labels will be subjected to. All labels, one soon learns, are not created equal. It’s very important to have an understanding of the different stocks, finishes, adhesives, print methods, etc. to help the customer make the right choices for both appearance and durability. Having very capable and experienced people in our prepress and production departments is also a big benefit for all."
Elsie Stein :: East Coast out of our New York plant — (800) 771-9316 (NY plant) — estein@fernqvist.com
"Considering the multitude of products on any store shelf that a consumer has the choice to purchase and that decision is made in five seconds or less, you better make sure your product ’pop’ out at them. A label is the least expensive marketing tool you can buy. A savvy company will recognize that my experience counts when making label purchasing decisions. They take advantage of the fact that I have a breadth of experience in a wide variety of industries gathered from my 12 years of working with companies to help them create custom solutions. They recognize that my experience crosses industries as diverse as hospitality and manufacturing to pharmaceuticals and wineries and a wealth of expertise in the food industry. My experience touches every level from end-user to the executive suite and if I don't know the immediate solution I have the knowledge and experience to know where to find it. My existing customers understand that my experience counts and recognize that I am their partner when it comes to label decisions. Together we make their product a success."
Per Fernqvist :: Northwest and International — (800) 426-8215 (CA main ofice) — pfernqvist@fernqvist.com
"Our sales team is the backbone of Fernqvist Labeling Solutions. The sales team has 40+ years of experience between the four of us — and we are not getting older either!
Creating customer, employee, and vendor relationships for the long term continues to be our mission. Fernqvist Labeling Solutions will celebrate 20 years in business in 2009. We would not have lasted 20 years if it wasn't for you, our customers. Thank you and I am looking forward to many more years. I am only 56 — going on 39 — after all."
