Our History

From the beginning, Artina Promotional Products was founded on the ideals of integrity, innovation and superior service. Its roots couldn’t be more humble – as a recent émigré from Athens, Greece, entrepreneur Chris Bouzounis started his company with only a small printing press in the basement. He produced and sold business cards, branded matchbooks and calendars to local businesses.

Named Olympic Press in honor of his homeland, what set Chris apart was his ability to carefully listen to and understand exactly what his customers needed. With prompt and careful follow-up, those customers issued repeat business and referrals. Today 90% of the company’s 2,500 clients are repeat customers, a statistic that attests to a relentless focus on service and satisfaction.

In an industry that can claim more than a million promotional product distributors, Artina Promotional Products ranks among the top 3 percent of the industry in volume. Throughout our more than 55-year history, Artina has maintained an outstanding reputation among our vendors and peers for our community support and business integrity, and for our employee longevity and our commitment to be true to our word.
