The 20-person New Haven company sent in this write-up to mark the occasion:
Forty years is no drop in the bucket. Husband and wife team and owners of New Haven’s Goodcopy, Lou ad Edie Goldberg, can vouch for that. Originally established as the first quick printer in New Haven in 1968 by Bud Bliven, a truly visionary man, the Goldbergs entered into the print arena in 1978 as the third set of owners for Goodcopy after a brief stint with a second owner. And they never looked back.
Over the years, the company has seen quite a few changes. From outgrowing its location, to adding new employees, to adapting to the ever-changing needs of their customers and technology, the Goldbergs have seen and done it all. But all along, they never considered leaving New Haven.
“New Haven is a great place to own a business,” said Lou Goldberg. “There are a wide variety of businesses and non-profits we work with here. Plus it’s the perfect location to service our larger, national clients in New York City and throughout the country without the overhead that goes along with being in larger cities.”
The changing needs of their clients have demanded that their business continuously evolve their technology as well. Whether hiring more staff to offer in-house graphic design services and full project management, establishing new processes and procedures, installing new equipment or learning new software, they have been quick to embrace change and have been up to the challenge. And now with their “ruby” anniversary, they are continuing to look toward the future with new services, socially and environmentally responsible programs and integrated marketing solutions to bridge the gap of the new multimedia marketplace.
“We’ve always understood that investing in technology can actually save client costs by improving efficiencies, while creating stronger relationships and better results,” said Edie Goldberg. “But even more than technology, we’ve always believed in investing in our staff. We are extremely conscious of only hiring the most qualified professionals who care as much as we do.” With 20 employees, and plans to add more soon…their plan seems to be working.
