COPPELL, Texas--May 22, 2001--TST/Impreso, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Impreso, Inc. and a leading manufacturer and distributor of paper, film and other hard copy imaging products for commercial and home office applications, today announced that it has again been named one of the ``Top 100 Manufacturers'' in the business forms and printed business products industry by FORM Magazine in its April 2001 issue.
FORM ranked companies in the industry according to their fiscal 2000 sales. TST/Impreso, Inc. was ranked No. 7 in the latest industry survey, based on its reported sales of $74.1 million for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2000.
FORM, an award-winning magazine serving the document management industry, is published by the Document Management Industries Association in Alexandria, Virginia.
``We are extremely pleased to report that TST/Impreso moved up to No. 7 in the latest FORM Magazine rankings, compared with our ranking in the prior-year survey,'' noted Marshall Sorokwasz, president and chief executive officer of TST/Impreso, Inc. ``TST/Impreso has moved up steadily in the FORM rankings, from No. 24 in 1998 to No. 13 in 1999, No. 9 in 2000, and now to No. 7. In light of our recent acquisition of the Sky Division of Durango-Georgia Converting, LLC, which increased TST/Impreso's annualized sales by more than 50%, we believe that our ranking will be in the top five in FORM Magazine's 2002 industry survey.''
``To be recognized as the seventh-largest company in our industry by this respected national trade publication is an impressive compliment to our organization. We share this recognition with our dedicated employees, customers, vendors and shareholders,'' concluded Sorokwasz.
