My Member Story-Sun Print Solutions

3 YEARS AGO
 

Like many print shops, when you first walk into Sun Print Solutions, it’s very unassuming. You’d never know how big the operation really is or about its longstanding heritage. In Sun Print’s case, they own three different buildings and recently celebrated 80 years in business!

 

Jennifer Burrell, chief executive officer, likes to say that what happens at Sun Print is kind of magic—taking a computer file and turning it into something beautiful you can see and feel. She’s also fully aware that what she does is really just chemistry!

 

It was very important to Jennifer and co-owner, Sara Deneau, chief financial officer at Sun Print, to own the land that the business occupied, but they knew that they needed some support to get there. They knew they needed an SBA loan, and found a great partner in Mountain America Credit Union. As a financial partner, our goal is to help businessowners reach their financial dreams while making the process easy.

 

In working with Sun Print, we found out what makes this place so special. Like when we learned that these two are fourth-generation employees to purchase the company! Sun Print Solutions is also the only union shop in Utah, which reinforces a unique quality standard in their industry.

 

Jennifer and Sara own and run this high-performing company in a traditionally male-dominated industry. RJ, Sara’s husband and Sun Print’s business development manager, shares that often, when this trio is representing the company at, say, a conference or trade show, people will approach RJ assuming he is the owner or ranking executive. It’s happened so often that he now just laughs and steps aside, deferring to Jennifer and Sara.

 

It can be frustrating, as a competent business owner, to constantly deal with these assumptions. But the Sun Print team always comes to the table with plenty of grace and humility and will continue pioneering advancements in the professional printing industry for years to come.

 

If you’re a business owner who is looking to grow this year, make an appointment with the Mountain America SBA team and let’s see how high you can fly!
