Acme Touch under new ownership
McCOOK, Nebraska - After pursuing multi media opportunities in Lincoln and Los Angeles, Jared Muehlenkamp has returned to McCook to purchase Acme Touch Printers & Designers.
The sale was finalized this month, with Jared acquiring the long established business from Rose Chancellor, who had operated Acme for more than 30 years.
"I gained valuable experience in the time away, but it's good to be home," said Muehlenkamp.
Acme Touch, established in 1932, provides a wide range of printing services, as well as promotional products and web design and development. "Rose did a great job of growing the business and has been a big help to me in making the transition," Jared said.
Muehlenkamp brings a wide range of multi media experiences to the business.
After attending McCook Community College, Jared went on to the University of Nebraska-Kearney, where he majored in Visual Communications and Design. Following college, he joined Signs Now, a sign design firm in Lincoln. He also continued his studies, obtaining a degree in web design and development through the DeVry Institute of Technology.
This was followed by an internship in Los Angeles, where Jared's work included help with a film documentary and assistance with the development of a Gatorade logo.
At Acme Touch, Muehlenkamp will continue the products and services offered through the years by the firm, while placing additional emphasis on web site and film work. "My focus will be on design and sales," he said.
The Acme Touch staff also includes Travis Bieker, production manager; Richard Dack, pressman; Kristen Harms, customer service and operation; Janie Bredvick, business development for McBeez Web; and Sharen Saf, web developer.
Muehlenkamp is a 2005 graduate of McCook High School. His parents are Linda and Mark Graff of McCook and Jeff and Billie Muehlenkamp of Wauneta. He has a sister, Jayme Muehlenkamp, who is an attorney in Colorado, and a brother, Jade, who is associated with Monsanto in Kearney.
Acme Touch Printers & Designers and McBeez Web is located at 1009 West B Street. Hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
