SAINT PAUL, MN – JANUARY 2011 – Printing Industries of America (PIA) has named Western Graphics a 2010 recipient of its "Best Workplace in the Americas" award. This is the fifth time Western Graphics has been awarded the designation Best Workplace in the Americas.

The world's largest print trade association, PIA evaluated companies nationwide based on their management practices, work environment, training and development opportunities, financial security, work-life balance, recognitions and rewards and health and wellness programs.

"Employees look at these eight key human relations areas when evaluating a current or prospective workplace," said Jim Kyger, assistant vice president of human resources at PIA and director of PIA's "Best Workplaces in the Americas" awards program. "While all employees have different values when it comes to what they want in a work environment, there is quite a bit of common ground. And, it is not all centered around money. Workers today look for a variety of qualities in a workplace. Recipients of PIA's 2010 'Best Workplace in the Americas' award share those qualities."

Tim Keran, President of Western Graphics, said the company has a proud history of creating an environment in which employees are having fun and are involved in the success of the company. “We believe our differentiating factor is our culture and having everyone working hard for each other," he added.
