PIA Group Buying Programs
 
PIA-MidAmerica Members receive group buying benefits through PIA-MidAmerica and Printing Industries of America. These benefits include the following:


  • Uniforms and Wiping Towels - PIA-MidAmerica members are able to utilize a special pricing program for rentals and purchases through ARAMARK, one of the best known uniform companies in the US.
  • Hazardous Waste Disposal - Because many of the chemicals used in our industry are considered to be hazardous, disposal can be expensive. Because of this unique program, members receive discounts which will more than pay for membership!
  • Xerox Equipment and Supplies - Here's one of Printing Industries of America's best-known buying programs. Discounts on equipment and supplies from one of the industry's major vendors -- Xerox.
  • Overnight Shipments - Looking for a discount on overnight package delivery? PIA/GATF has contracted with a premier overnight carrier - FedEx to provide members with great discounts. Member Only FedEx Enrollment Form
  • Merchant Bank Services - Do more and more of your customers pay with credit cards? This program can provide savings in the hundreds and thousands of dollars depending on the amount of credit card transactions run through your business. This group-buying program is provided through an arrangement with Concord EFS, a First Data Company.
  • Background & Drug Screening - More and more employers require employees to work in drug-free workplaces and the Association provides a resource to assist. HR First Contact provides drug and background screening, plus much more, at discounted rates for PIA-MidAmerica members.
  • Workers' Compensation - Members in Missouri and Texas can take advantage of special Worker's Compensation pooling arrangements.
