Our Prepress/Business Operations ManagerSandy Stockton has been with “The Firm” for 20 years and has been in “the business” for 24 years. Her introduction to printing began in the mid 1980’s at Tognotti’s Auto World in Sacramento, heading up their sheet-fed shop, printing catalogs, business cards, letterhead and “Street Machine” packets. After a brief hiatus from the crazy world of print, she decided to jump back in with our company in 1991. Sandy started at the very bottom and has done almost all one can do in the print business… she even spent time on the press. Today, Sandy is smack dab in the middle of our operation, taking care of scheduling, billing and all prepress operations. As our prepress manager, she has seen some major changes over the years. The pre-press function has grown more than any other in the printing business and GCP has stayed on top of it from the beginning, installing our first CTP device in 2003. Sandy was knee deep in that transition and several upgrades since. In fact, she oversaw the installation of our newest CTP device in October, 2010, a Kodak Trendsetter News 70.“When customers are successful, we are successful and it starts with a healthy business relationship. I am proud of the relationship we have with our customers.”Our Press ManagerCesar Gomez joined our team in 2010 and has been running offset web presses for over 14 years. He prides himself in creating the best looking product possible and instills this same philosophy to his crews.He runs a tight ship and a clean shop. He expects the best from his staff and they respond favorably to his “follow me” style of leadership. He doesn’t ask them to do anything he doesn’t do himself.“I am fortunate to work with a company that cares as much about customers as I do. I want to give our customerss the best product I can give them and GCP wants nothing less.”Our Mailroom ManagerRandy Jaworski has been pushing product out the door for one company or another for over 35 years. Nineteen of those years he spent making sure that you and I got our Sunset Magazines in a timely fashion. From there he got into the furniture rental business and even the high performance auto parts business before landing here with Gold Country Printing in February, 2002. Randy has been able to substantially increase volume around here without increasing manpower. That is good news for customers in that it keeps our costs down. He has made us a Muller-Martini shop exclusively (our inserting and stitch & trim equipment). Those in the business know that was a good move. Our machinery is fast and dependable.
