Dear Client and Friends

Happy New Year to all of you! Thank you for an exciting year of substantial growth at GPI – more than 70 percent! Our expectations for the future are even greater as we continue to expand our partnerships with clients, suppliers and colleagues. Major events occurred in 1999 which positioned GPI to meet your needs. We relocated to a larger facility, invested in state-of-the art equipment, established new partnerships with suppliers, expanded our languages, and achieved recognition for “excellence” from our customers and colleagues. GPI received the “Excellence in Marketing Communication Award,” from Nalco Chemical Company, and the “Outstanding Achievement in Global Trade” from the World Trade Center-Fort Lauderdale. More recently, I was nominated by NAWBO (National Association of Women Business Owners) for the National Business Owner of the Year award. This nomination is an honor which I humbly accept and attribute to the hard work and dedication of my suppliers, clients and friends who continue to fuel GPI’s growth. These events would not be possible without you! We have many exciting things in store for 2000 and beyond. Our philosophy is to continue to “exceed” your expectations. Customer feedback allows GPI to provide a “value added” service by providing exceptional service as well as being intricately involved in your business. “GPI often goes beyond the translation services to inform us of organizations and events in Latin America that she thinks might be helpful to our business,”

says Richard Harshaw, Vice President, International Division of American Meter. We make it our business to fully understand your business by investigating the latest market trends, technologies, and changes to help your business grow. Thank you again for an outstanding year! We look forward to a lasting partnership as we enter into the new millennium!

GPI and You

— A “Value Added” Partnership

"In addition to providing editorial services for our Latino Publications, GPI offers much needed insight into the world of this exploding marketplace. Throughout the eight years I have known Martha, she has become an indispensable source of information and ideas for our Hispanic language greeting cards.”
