American Reprographics Company Opens Key Memphis Office

PHILADELPHIA/PRNewswire/ -- American Reprographics Company, the country's leading provider of reprographic services and technology, today announced the opening of Airways Reprographics near the Memphis, TN, international airport -- the national hub for Federal Express package distribution.

"This strategic location not only enables us to provide Memphis with the most sophisticated reprographics services in the nation," said Gary Martin, president of Airways Reprographics, a wholly-owned subsidiary of American Reprographics. "But it also allows us to offer late night FedEx service for all of ARC's divisions coast to coast, and provide even better distribution coverage for national accounts. We are close to the airport runways as you can get. I can see the tails of the planes on the tarmac out our front window."

ARC has 148 locations across North America where architectural, engineering and construction drawings and plans are digitally stored using a proprietary web-based tool called PlanWell(TM). PlanWell is the world's largest online planroom and one of the only full-featured "planroom-to-print" solutions available to the construction industry. Architects, engineers and other construction professionals can view plans, place orders online and receive prints from any one of ARC's locations nationwide. However, ARC may not have an office in every city where a client has operations. With this new Memphis office, ARC can now offer late-night shipping of hard-copy prints to and from those locations through the Memphis FedEx hub.

Since Memphis is in the Central time zone, Airways Reprographics can take packages to the FedEx office, just two blocks away, as late as 11:30 p.m. for midnight shipments to every city of the world for delivery the following day.

"Airways offers a unique advantage to American Reprographics," said K. "Suri" Suriyakumar, president and chief operation officer for ARC. "It not only leverages fantastic opportunities for local business in Memphis, but supports those hard to reach areas our national footprint currently does not cover. I'm also extremely proud of the management team we have in place at Airways. Every one of our key players has significant experience in reprographics, technology and logistics, skills that are so crucial to this division's success."

Airways Reprographics now occupies the same space formerly used by Campbell as its airport branch before a consolidation of its facilities. It is located at Suite 3015, Airways Blvd., Memphis, TN 38112. The phone number is 901-344-8803.
