Hello! Back again!
« on: September 23, 2021, 08:34:22 AM »
In a past life, 5 years or so ago, I was the owner of my own shop and was very active here on the forums as MimosaTexas.  I sold/merged with another shop, have seen ridiculous growth and expansion as the production manager, and am now transitioning into a sales and business development role.  Happy to have the time again to be on the boards, and a fresh pursuit to poor my attention into in this crazy world.  I see familiar faces already!

I am indeed!  We have grown and changed so incredibly much in the last few years, and I have been too busy to do much here at all.  Now that production expansion is mostly in place, I'm moving toward focusing on sales, marketing, etc.

We should touch base again Eric!  I have loosely followed your growth as well.

Happy to be back!

Figured I should give some info about our company as well.

Bumperactive.com is a full service union print shop which currently has around 75 employees and 35k sq ft of space across 3 physical locations, all in Austin, TX.  Our primary production facility is 23k sq ft, and we do all kinds of screenprinting, embroidery, direct to garment, sublimation, vinyl stickers (primarily digital), flatbed digital printed goods (signs mainly), and lots more.  We have seen massive growth on the ecommerce and fulfillment side in addition to our production offerings.  Our plan is to have quite a few more product and service offerings slated for addition in 2022 as well.  Exciting stuff!

Yep!  Couldn't be happier having made that transition.  I was never the best "business owner" anyway.  I just love all things printing!
