CUSTOMER SPOTLIGHT

Continuous Improvement Strategy Changes the Game (and the Name!) for United Direct Solutions

On Veterans Day, we spotlight United Direct Solutions, a veteran-owned small business certified by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. United Direct Solutions recently rebranded, changing their name (from United Mail) to reflect the company’s evolution into a technology-driven entity that offers a wide array of services beyond traditional direct mail. This evolution stems in part from Chief Operating officer Casey Hendrick's commitment to continuous improvement, which is also what led United Direct Solutions to invest in a Canon varioPRINT iX inkjet sheetfed press and is certainly part of the recipe for success that earned them the Innovator of the Year award from Printing Impressions.
