“We’ve both been seeking a partner on the opposite coast, one who shares a like-minded commitment to quality, client-focus and technology. We’ve found that in Cathedral and we’re very excited,” says FSSI president, Jennifer Dietz. The partnership is collaborative, not competitive, so it opens up new markets and opportunities for both of us. The resulting geographic advantages also enable us to effectively compete together against much larger companies,” Dietz adds.

Elaborating on reasons for the pairing, Cathedral president and CEO, Marianne Gaige, adds, “Some of our largest customers had asked us to put a location on the West Coast. Now, we provide the data file and FSSI prints and dispatches it the same day. The key benefits to customers are speed and convenience, with continued high quality and customer service. Because FSSI is of a similar size as Cathedral, our partnership has essentially doubled the production capacity available to our customers.”
