Description

Multi Media Services (MMS) history began in 1971 as the internal, multi media services department for Ingersoll-Rand in Painted Post. It was there that Rick Bartholomew learned how to exceed the rigorous demands of the corporate environment and to delight administration. Due to Ingersoll-Rand and Dresser-Rand's intensive manufacturing processes, the multi media department gained invaluable experience in the production of both product manuals and parts catalogs. The multi media department also produced traditional print products such as business cards, letterhead, product slicks and black and white (b/w) copies. This department provided fulfillment services for all printed products to five disparate locations across the country. In 1988, the multi media services department became the first within the Southern Tier to purchase a color laser copier. Continuing the trend of being first to market, they purchased a true “perfecting ” offset press to efficiently produce long-run, two-sided prints. Rick Bartholomew negotiated with Ingersoll-Rand and was given permission to provide limited services to external customers in an effort to help justify investment in cutting-edge technologies. In 1994, Ingersoll-Rand decided to spin-off the multi media services department. Rick Bartholomew offered to purchase the division and in July 1995, took ownership. The multi media services department became Multi Media Services (MMS), Incorporated MMS continues to produce a significant amount of work for Ingersoll-Rand. In 1996, MMS hired their first full-time graphic designer and full-time customer service representative to help build and grow new corporate business relationships. Later that year, large-format printing bolstered the growing list of services offered. Multi Media Services outgrew their facility and found it necessary to relocate. A new location, on River Road in Corning , was purchased by MMS in the spring of 1997. This new location boasted 13,000 square feet of space, which provided MMS with substantial room to grow.
