Puerto Rican

Robert Lopez has been in the business of manufacturing advertising work for the past 30 years.  After Military obligations, Lopez started at Scientific Aetna Engraving in 1968 and worked there for eight years.

In 1976 the shop was taken over by Collier Graphic Services; at Collier Lopez was assigned to service their house accounts, by 1980 Lopez rose up through the ranks and was promoted to VP in Sales.  In 1985 Collier Graphics sold their interest to Potomac Graphic.

Potomac sold 60% of their interest to Jannock Ltd., a billion dollar company, and manufacturers of building materials.  By 1994, Jannock bought the remaining 40% and renamed the company Integrated Imaging Center.  In 1995, Jannock Ltd. decided to get out of the graphic arts business, due to the soft market conditions.  However, they could not unload the company.  There were only two options left – sell to management or liquidate the business.  By mid of 1995, Lopez decided to start negotiations with Jannock.

In order to accomplish this task and obtain financing, Lopez had no choice but to use his home as collateral.  On August 4, 1996 Lopez took control of the company saving 110 jobs and by the end of December 1996, the company made a profit for the first time.

Integrated Imaging Center services Fortune 500 companies and their advertising agencies.  It is a high end reproducer of ads for major magazines, brochures, posters and sheet fed printing.  And is one of a few companies in the graphics arts that is certified by the New York/New Jersey minority Council.  At present, we are manufacturing advertising material for the US Census Bureau through their advertising agencies.
