Minuteman Press in Flemington, NJ & Printech Announce Merger Bringing Together Over 60 Years of Local Printing & Client Experience
April 16 2024 - 9:10AM
Jason Jacobus, owner of Minuteman Press, Flemington, NJ, and Joe
Mastrull, owner of Printech, have announced the merger of the two
printing businesses. Moving forward, the combined company will
operate as Minuteman Press, Flemington and remain at the current
Minuteman Press location at 149 NJ-31, Flemington, NJ 08822.
The merger brings over 60 years of printing experience together
under one roof. As owner of Printech, Joe Mastrull has been serving
local businesses since 1987. Minuteman Press, Flemington owner
Jason Jacobus has over 30 years of industry experience. Jason
purchased the Minuteman Press franchise in 2012.
Jason Jacobus shares, “Merging with Printech was the next
sensible step in growing our business and expanding our market
share in the Flemington area. Bringing Joe and Graphic Designer
Kathy over to Minuteman Press, Flemington will ensure a smooth
transition in both customer service and pricing. Printech customers
continue to receive high quality products and services. We are also
excited to expand our product lines for Printech customers who will
now be able to take advantage of our extended in-house wide format
printing and signage capabilities. As a Minuteman Press franchise,
we also receive preferred vendor pricing on our wide variety of
promotional products such as custom branded pens.”
Joe Mastrull says, “We chose to merge with Minuteman Press in
Flemington because it was of critical importance for our clients to
have a succession plan that would provide them the same outstanding
level of customer service, quality control, resources, pricing and
guaranteed turnaround times for all of their future work. Jason,
like me, has been in the industry for over 30 years and can offer
multiple solutions to best handle any budget or project. His team
has been in place for several years and offers the high level of
consistency our clients have come to expect.”
History & Experience Leads to Merger
Printech has a long and proud history in Flemington. Joe shares,
“Printech has been in business since 1987 and started as a small
copy shop. We had the first Apple Macintosh desktop computer in the
county in 1991. We quickly morphed into what I like to call a
‘small scale’ commercial quality printer, offering high-end offset,
process color, and high speed digital black and white copying.
Mailing services were also added. Eventually we had two and
four-color digital offset which ultimately morphed into digital
laser presses. Along the way, we added signage and promotional
items, something that Minuteman Press Flemington can expand even
further. All along the way, we always had a wonderful graphic
designer on staff, which always set us apart.”
For his part, Jason adds, “I started in the print world a few
years after Printech was established. I have 30-plus years in both
offset and digital printing experience. I ran my first offset press
at 15 years-old at my high school print shop. In the early 1990s, I
worked in prepress for major magazine brands like PC Magazine,
Brides, GQ, and Popular Mechanics. I also spent quite a few years
running presses for print shops like Printech and have been the
owner and operator of Minuteman Press in Flemington for the past 12
years.”
Both Jason and Joe credit Minuteman Press Regional VP Jim
Galasso in helping with the merger. Joe says, “Jim and I first
spoke in 2016 and stayed in touch. When the time was right for me,
Jim acted as a liaison to connecting Jason and I to get the
discussion started into deciding how to move forward, ultimately
leading to this merger.”
Jason echoes those sentiments, saying, “I asked Jim to connect
with Joe a few years back about a possible merger but the timing
wasn’t right until now. I want to say once again that I am thrilled
we are now bringing our experience together to provide Printech and
Minuteman Press, Flemington clients with the highest levels of
quality and service.”
