This is Stevens Printing's second year as an AMA Platinum Sponsor. Rich first became acquainted with the AMA while still a student at Portland State University. Subsequently, Rich and this year's AMA President, Eric Gregg, developed a friendship within a networking group in which they are both active. While there is an unmistakable connection between high quality printing and the marketing profession, the AMA is not Stevens Printing's only beneficiary. Rich speaks with deep conviction about how his father taught him stewardship for the city and community that provides the company with business success. About 10% of the work done by Stevens Printing is donated to non-profits, such as Doernbecher Children's Hospital. Every year, Rich reevaluates each donated printing recipient's needs with respect to the company's mission and makes adjustments, as appropriate.

Stevens Printing's customers include corporations, non-profits, private and public organizations and designers. A few of the company's notable clients have been Nike, Standard Insurance and Portland State University.

Rich shared this about his company’s philosophy. “We hate saying no to our customers. We take pride in helping our clients with the most time sensitive, demanding projects. If another printer says, ‘we can’t’, then come to Stevens Printing.”

THANK YOU STEVENS PRINTING!
