Title: Grimco buys TubeliteDenco
Post by: ebscreen on October 13, 2023, 03:14:00 PM: Denco gets sold to Tubelite, operates as TubeliteDenco for what, almost a year? Now TubeliteDenco sold to Grimco.
At what point is something a monopoly? And what abomination of a name will they operate under?

Terrible, just terrible.

GSG bought a company but not sure what they are going to carry in Denver. Didn't like Grimco when they bought Midwest Sign more digital than screen print so has me worried. They are the closest for me.

Sucks!!!!

Post by: inkman996 on October 18, 2023, 01:35:20 PM: Grimco is horrible, we used to use them for all our sign supplies since they are local but it was actually the worse place to order from. If you ordered 3 items, 3 items would come from 3 different locations, you could never get accurate information from them before ordering as to where everything is coming from. I use Beacon Graphics in NJ for all of our sign supplies and in ten years they have never let us down.

Post by: cbjamel on October 18, 2023, 03:15:28 PM: Had Rep in today from Denco/Tubelite/Grimco basically Denver wont stock much will have to ship from Kansas. Also they are no longer M&R dealers or Roland.
So i hope that GSG in Denver starts stock thing that need Union inks, 4" tape, spray glue etc... If they do i will be switching if the stock most in Denver.
Ugh....
