  • Business Spotlight – Gateway Press

    Walt Markus and his crew are modest about their successful business which is an integral part of the Calaveras County business network. Located in Murphys, Gateway Press is known as the Company that “Puts Ink on Stuff”. You may think of them as a printer but they are so much more. They have been in Murphys since 1981 and have expanded their printing and promotions business. Walt and his staff continually make contributions to local nonprofit groups and the community. With often free, or tradeout printing for kid’s soccer and sports leagues Walt is an enormous resource for marketing ideas. Bring him a general idea of what you want to produce and he will help you refine it to a workable plan. His expertise in the printing industry gives him the ability to help customers develop their ideas into creative genius. One of the things that sets Gateway apart from others is the high level of customer service. If you need it, Walt will find a way to make it happen. His knowledge of what sells and how customers view and purchase products make him the Branding expert for local business. Walt Markus and his family are a valuable asset to Calaveras and are an example of success.
