CMC Group originated in January of 1980 when Greg Jackson founded Century Marketing, a small label distribution company in Campbell, California. After experiencing a desire to monitor and control the quality of the labels they were receiving from an outside supplier, Century Marketing brought Al Caperna into the company as third owner. Caperna would be responsible for developing production and printing operations, enabling the company to print its own labels and granting Century Marketing independence from outside suppliers. At this time, in the summer of 1980, Century Marketing relocated to Bowling Green, Ohio.
As a result of continual growth and expansion under the leadership of CEO Al Caperna, Century Marketing was named Master Entrepreneur of the Year by Ernst & Young / Merrill Lynch in 1995. Mr. Caperna’s business ventures continued and in 1999, he was involved in starting PrivaCash®, a company that makes reloadable prepaid credit cards to protect identity and privacy of spenders. One year later, Caperna also took over management of Capitol Material, a paper resale business.
CMC Group, Inc. continues to grow through innovative technological improvements and a leadership committed to customer consideration. In 2006, the company introduced web based Century Sales at printmything.com and pmtprofits.com. Most recently, CMC Group acquired Dissolvo® LLC, a company that manufactures water soluble materials used in DayMark’s DissolveMark™ labels.
