In June, we hosted a delightful ice cream social for our employees, featuring delicious treats from Furniture City Creamery, a hand-crafted ice cream company located here in Grand Rapids, MI. It was a wonderful opportunity for over 130 of our Grand Rapids team members to take a break, enjoy some ice cream, and get to know one another better.

At Gilson, we believe that progress and sustainability go hand in hand. As a marketing solutions provider and commercial printer, we’ve evolved over the years to meet our clients’ challenges while staying true to our commitment to the environment.

Gilson partnered with PrintReleaf in June 2023 as part of an ongoing need for sustainability options for our customers. All applicable print jobs (paper/corrugate based) can now be estimated via PrintReleaf, allowing customers to choose to offset their paper usage through reforestation.

In the midst of changing autumnal colors and the scent of ripe apples in the air, our company recently gathered at Robinette’s Apple Haus to commemorate a significant achievement—the 75th anniversary of our establishment back in 1948.

The Salesperson of the Year award is determined by four weighted criteria, including overall sales volume, biggest sales increase, most new sales, and greatest value-added sales. Jake earned the top-spot this year thanks to his hard work and commitment to growing his book of business that includes Crocs, HeyDude, Tommy’s Express, and Wolverine Worldwide. 

Clorox was looking to elevate the consumer experience in the cleaning aisle. They had preliminary campaign creative, but were unsure of how to execute the creative in-aisle across several different fixture configurations. They turned to Gilson’s in-store design team to help build a more engaging aisle display.

We believe in keeping you informed about developments that could impact your experience with Gilson, and we want to make sure you’re aware of a potential situation involving UPS.

Best of Wide Format

Gilson first brought you a behind-the-scenes look at the impressive renovation of the former Heritage Towers (now The Milton) in Battle Creek, MI back in June of 2020. That project is now gaining national recognition, and was unveiled as one of 12 winners of the 3rd Annual Best of Wide Format Awards competition by Big Picture magazine.

Despite a tumultuous start to 2020, Gilson posted the most significant 1st quarter sales in their 72-year history. Sales are up 8% over the same time period last year—a rarity in the printing and graphic arts industry. Some of the world’s largest commercial print operations have experienced significant declines in recent years, forcing long-time industry players to entertain sell-offs and mergers to offset the decline in the overall market.
