Wilton , NH – PEP Direct and its parent company, Quadriga Art, Inc., are happy to announce the opening of new facilities in Juarez, Mexico and El Paso, Texas.  The Juarez operation will further broaden the range of options available to PEP Direct’s client base.  Production at this state-of-the-art facility will include notepads, box programs, personalization, lettershop and data processing. The facility in El Paso will help in sorting and preparing mail, warehousing materials and coordinating shipments across the border

Goods produced and assembled at Quadriga’s plant in Mexico, in accordance with the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), will be able to cross the border into the United States twenty four hours a day with no customs delays. Finished mail will enter the mail stream from the Dallas bulk mail center. “The addition of these facilities will definitely help in reducing our clients’ production costs,” states Sam Blackford, president of PEP Direct, LLC. “And, mailing from the center of the country will reduce shipping time, providing them with more time and money to create unique and effective mail packages.”

Eight members of Quadriga’s key manufacturing and management personnel have relocated to El Paso to run and oversee all facets of the Mexico operation. Quadriga President Mark Schulhof says, “We are extremely excited about this addition to our portfolio of services. We believe the Mexico facility will offer many advantages in cost and efficiency to our clients. Quadriga will continue to strive for excellence and innovation as we help our clients succeed.”
