Dick Pierce,CEO
In 1986 Dick Pierce purchased 51% of Koke Printing Company, and with Dick’s help, the company began to grow rapidly. Dick also owned a publishing company that was growing by leaps and bounds, so he decided to build a new state-of-the-art printing facility at 2895 Chad Drive, just off of Coburg Road. In August 1989, Koke Printing and Industrial Publishing moved into the new facility combining equipment and employees. In 1990, the two companies merged formally, making Dick Pierce the 80% shareholder. This combination has made Koke Printing one of the largest—and finest—printers in the area.
