About Us

we came to AlphaGraphics with successful track records as business owners so we understand how to analyze a problem and just how important every solution is to a business.

Jumping through hoops to solve problems and meet demanding deadlines comes as second nature to the team at AlphaGraphics St Louis, one reason we've turned first-time customers into loyal, raving fans while serving the St. Louis area for the past 20 years.

Our team embodies the entrepreneurial spirit of local owners Mesi Gebremichael and Mike Bairu. Most of our staff has invested 10 years or more developing their trade. Our obsession with customer service is only topped by our picky perfectionism. We painstakingly follow a quality control process to ensure your visual communications project gets a wow at first sight.

Our commitment to making a difference in the professional lives of business owners by helping them grow shows in our own success. It's no surprise we've been recognized as a top producer with the AlphaGraphics Silver Circle Award.
