Congratulations to George and Dana Naas, owners of Golden Printing and Promotional Products, for celebrating the 55th anniversary of their family-owned company. The company was founded in 1959 by Bernard Naas (Sr.) in Wheat Ridge, CO. Even though George was just a “kid” at that time, he had taken a course in printing and typesetting at Lake Junior High School and had then worked as an actual apprentice at a top-notch full color printing company located in Lakewood. Bernard was the sales person and George did most of the printing.
George and Dana were married in 1967 and soon took over complete operation of the company, which was first moved to West Colfax and later located in Wheat Ridge on 44th near Kipling. A prime client during the early years was the Carriage Trade Dinner Club, Denver Burglar Alarm and Special Products Company, who was maintained as a prime client throughout all these years until 2013, when Special Products Company was purchased and moved out of state. Golden Printing also became a printer for the Federal Government through the Government Printing Procurement Office, located at the Denver Federal Center.
George is a master printer and continues to personally oversee print production and/or to do the printing himself. Their specialty is commercial offset printing. In 1994 the company added advertising specialty products to its offerings. Dana personally oversees this part of the business, and the company is a registered member of the Advertising Specialty Institute and can obtain any type of imprinted product for their clients.
The couple has two children: Alan Naas of Centennial, Colorado, and Rachel Robson, currently living in Saba, Netherlands Antilles.
