We would like to take this opportunity to introduce ourselves and talk briefly about Kopico, Inc.. In 1962 Jess Chico, as one of two original partners, started operations out of a storefront on South Ashland Avenue. The company suffered through the usual hardships of a new business and many troubled economies, but with a persistent client base development and a tenacious work ethic, Kopico has grown from 3 employees to 30. Throughout the past 35 years, our gross revenues have increased over 1,000 percent.

Mr. Chico took over sole ownership of the company in 1973. He incorporated and continued moving forward. We have moved from that storefront and now own a 30,000 sq. ft. building in Chicago's Central Manufacturing District. We are continuously adding to our equipment and technology to adapt to customer needs and time constraints.

Years of diligence and experience have resulted in a distinguished and extensive client base. Some of that client base consists of People Gas, Light and Coke Co., AT&T, Cook County of Illinois, The United States Postal Service, Chicago Transit Authority, City of Chicago, Ameritech, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Wallace Computer Services, WGBO Univision, The Chicago White Sox and numerous other private companies.

In our printing operation, we are capable of design and layout, state-of-the-art computerized typesetting and desktop publishing, complete dark room operation, 1-4 color impressions, and extensive bindery processes. We print business cards, letterheads, envelopes, invoices, brochures, and much more.

Kopico, Inc. is certified ad an MBE/DBE with the City of Chicago, Cook County, RTA, CTA, State of Illinois, Chicago Minority Business Development Council and the Chicago Public Schools. We have bid and won many contacts with these institutions and participated as a subcontractor with many larger corporations.

We are grateful for the time you have spent learning about our company and its history. Thank you very much for considering us in your future plans. Please feel free to contact us with any further requests, samples, references, ect.. Again, thank you.
