Andes Industries Limited
Andes Industries was once a 500 square-foot printery that serviced local neighbourhoods and amazingly producing full colour greeting cards with one A. B. Dick press and a manual platen letterpress. Andes Industries was incorporated in 1982 by Patrick Hernandez, who came from advertising with an eye for printing and a keen business sense. He partnered with his wife Ann Hernandez who had a natural talent for sales. Together, they built a company reputation of working hard and getting the job done.
During the 1990s, the company moved from Sea Lots in Trinidad to its current location at the IDC Estate on the Lady Young Road. It expanded to two four-colour presses and began producing commercial print work for Courts, Excellent Stores and other companies. Greeting card sales expanded throughout Trinidad and export sales began in Barbados and Antigua. Further expansion in the 2000’s made Andes a force in the Caribbean print market with the installation of the latest technological innovations. In 2008 Andes renovated to make room for their full-service prepress department. In 2010 Andes invested in their digital printing department.
After over 30 dedicated years, Andes is proud to remain a privately owned, family-run organization. Patrick and Ann still manage the business and their sons Mark, Jeffrey and Nigel have joined the management and sales team.
Andes’ talented team of over 25 employees stays true to the company’s fundamental values of hard work and dedication. We continue to assess new technologies and client requirements to ensure that Andes Industries is well positioned to lead the industry into the future.
