Since 1981 the company has helped many customers emerge their products from concepts to consu­mers. With manufacturing facili­ties throughout North America, Europe and Asia, its customers can rely on a single source to achieve their ma­nufactu­ring and distri­buting goals. Food, Beauty, Medical, Con­fection and Nutraceutical com­panies rely on Spectrum Litho­graph daily. It supplies many of today’s leading companies with high-quality folding cartons from small to large-volume. With its multi-year contracts on raw materials, it can ensure its cus­tomers the most competitive and stable pricing. In addition to folding cartons, Spectrum’s customers need to display the product at most big box warehouses, convenience stores or boutique outlets. With its Litho-Lam, Litho-Label and Direct Print capabilities, it is able to design and manufacture some of the most innovative displays and shippers in the industry. In 2017, Spectrum Lithograph was awarded an ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System Certificate by the NSF Quality System Registrar in Ann Arbor, Michigan for both the design and manufacture of custom fol­ding cartons and corrugated pa­ckaging tailoring the Medical, Beauty, Confection, Food, and Pharmaceutical industries. The company uses Kaizen methodolo­gies. Spectrum Lithograph was establi­shed in a small space in Milpi­tas in 1981 by husband and wife team Dino and Fernanda Pereira. They used personal savings to start their business because “no one was willing to take a chan­ce on a small business like ours” said Fernanda who serves as the firm’s Chief Financial Officer (CFO) in a July 28, 2016 inter­view with the San Francisco Bu­siness Times. Son Shawn Pereira serves as the Vice President of Sales and Marketing.
