Owner / Big Visual Group

What really sets Global apart for us is how well they know our business. Not only do I feel comfortable involving them in big purchasing decisions, but they’ve become like an internal team member. They actually come to me with new market opportunities for us, things that really help us differentiate our offering. They are true, long-term partners.

Steve Saak

Founder & CEO / S&S Promotions

Global helps me make many of the critical decisions for equipment in my business. They know my company inside, and out. Global has a deep understanding of solutions in the market today. I bring them in on tough capital decisions because they have the broadest view on the industry overall. They're a powerful shortcut to the best solutions curated to meet my needs. Global is a true Partner for our company.

Scott Cohen

President / Sign Language XL

We see Global as our change agent manager in our relationship. It allows us to see new things, to develop new things to pay attention to, and it also opens up new markets for us to sell into. So by bringing in new technology, new solutions, new ideas, they allow us to be the change we need to be inside our own company.

WE ARE GLOBAL

If these folks don't make you want to work with Global, nothing will!

Yes, we sell some really cool stuff, but at the end of the day these human beings are what make us great. Maybe because we value relationships so deeply, we have selected a team of people who we really like (and believe you will too).

HOW IT BEGAN

Back in 1995, Tara Giffin and Greg Lamb worked together at a small photo finisher in Boulder, Colorado. Spurred by the changes they were witnessing as the imaging industry trended away from conventional image capture and output to cutting-edge digital equipment, they launched Global Imaging as a reseller for digital printer supplies.

As this shift to digital gained momentum, Greg and Tara quickly saw a need to educate customers. They brought on new distributorships to serve their customers and were soon selling film recorders, drum scanners and the earliest iterations of wide format printers. Over time, the scanners gave way to digital camera backs and with their shared background in photography and photofinishing they became one of the country’s largest digital camera resellers and rental houses – while the wide format printer industry continued to expand. Fast forward to today and we see a company founded on the desire to identify and fill market gaps with the willingness to continuously evolve.
