ROME, NY -- Cathedral Corporation, a national provider of transactional documents, customer care communications, personalized direct mail and e-marketing programs, is partnering with California-based Financial Statement Services Inc. (FSSI), a full-service print and mail outsourcing company, to expand its geographic reach and speed delivery of services to customers.

 

“FSSI is a perfect fit as a partner for Cathedral, as an established company with the same guiding principles, 100-percent quality and exceptional customer service,” said Marianne Gaige, president and CEO of Cathedral Corporation. “Some of our largest customers had asked us to put a location on the West Coast. Now, we provide the data file and FSSI prints and dispatches it the same day.”

 

Jennifer Dietz, president of FSSI, agreed. “Both companies have been seeking an established partner on the opposite coast with a likeminded commitment to quality, client-focus and technology,” she said. “I believe the two companies and cultures are a great match because we have similar management philosophies, technologies, quality processes and goals. FSSI can offer our clients Cathedral’s best-in-class e-presentment capability. Similarly, Cathedral can now make available FSSI’s letterStreamOne dynamic correspondence solution.”

 

The key benefits to customers are speed and convenience with continued high quality and customer service, Gaige said. “Because FSSI is of a similar size to Cathedral, our partnership has essentially doubled the production capacity available to our customers.”

 

Dietz said the partnership will allow her company to offer clients East Coast disaster recovery and distributive printing and mailing services.

 

“With these new geographic advantages, both companies will be able to open up new markets, regions and opportunities without making us direct competitors. Clients and customers served by both companies will benefit tremendously.”
