Digital Printing Systems Celebrates 40 Years
“I was a salesman for another ticket company. No not one of those familiar to the parking business.We were having
troublemeeting
deliveries.Another salesman and I joked thatwe didn’t want to sell, because we couldn’t deliver. I decided then and there that when I started my own firm, service and delivery would bemost important to the company. I believe we have kept that promise for the past 40 years.” Don Nores, founder and currently Chairman of the Board of
Digital Printing Systems talks about his company on its 40th anniversary. “Printing tickets for the parking business isn’t easy.Youmust
be certain about the tolerances, certain about the paper stock. If you aren’t, the machines won’t work reliably and that costs our customersmoney. The standardsmust be exact. “Why do we ship tickets all over the world? In many coun-
tries there isn’t enough volume for them to have their own local suppliers, and most vendors won’t accept tickets that don’t meet their specifications.
“Two of us started out in a 1,700 square foot building in 1971,
and about every 10 years increased the size of our building by about 10,000 square feet.We built our building in 1997 in Azusa and a couple of years ago, added 10,000 feet more, bringing our total to 33,000. Our company felt it had to grow to meet the requirements of a growing parking industry. Digital Printing Systems now has over 75 employees and
Peter Young is at the helm. “I wanted to begin to retire around 2001 and did an executive search and found Peter. He is CEO, I remain as Chairman but have greatly diminished my role to where now we have periodic meetings to keep up to date. Peter runs the show.” Trade Shows are an important part of our marketing effort,
says Young. “We attend dozens each year both on the national and local level. Developing relationships with parking organiza- tions is important. It allows us to interactwith our customers and ensurewe are properlymeeting their need.”
