Polaris Direct becomes newest certified SGP Facility

The Sustainable Green Printing Partnership (SGP), the leading authority in sustainable printing certifications, announced today Polaris Direct as the newest certified SGP Facility.

“What I like about SGP certification is it creates a culture around sustainability,” said John Strand, director of operations. “It’s not just three or four of us deciding procedures – it encourages you to get other people involved, and you can’t create a culture of sustainability unless everybody’s in on it.”

Located in Hooksett, New Hampshire, Polaris Direct is a direct marketing and printing company with many Fortune 500 customers. Founded nearly 20 years ago, the company is guided by innovative thinking and client-based problem solving.

“A lot of our customers are asking how we’re protecting our community. SGP gives us a good answer to those questions,” said Kris Ingoldsby, executive assistant.

“Polaris Direct’s commitment to its sustainability journey is highlighted through its achievement to gain SGP certification,” stated Marci Kinter, vice president, Government and Regulatory Affairs, PRINTING United Alliance, and chair, SGP Technical Committee. “It was a pleasure to work with Polaris and see how the company came together and worked on its sustainability criteria. This is only the beginning of our SGP and Polaris journey and I am excited to see what is on the horizon for Polaris Direct!”

Pekin Insurance Adds Brenva HD Production Inkjet Press to Existing Line-up of Xerox Presses

To keep up with rising volumes of policy and billing statements, insurance provider and in-plant printer, Pekin Insurance, needed an inkjet device that brought speed, reliability and advanced color technology.
