Global Reach Turns 20

We are celebrating 20 years in business

Twenty years ago, Global Reach Internet Productions (GRIP) opened our doors as a small web development start-up. Since then, we've morphed into an international full-service web company specializing in website design and development, cloud hosting, visual communication, and internet marketing.

Global Reach partnered with the Ames Chamber of Commerce to celebrate the milestone at June's Business After Hours Event. Global Reach hosted the anniversary party to show appreciation for the 20 years of ongoing support we've received from our clients and business partners.

"Our company has experienced tremendous growth over the past 20 years, both in the U.S. and internationally, and we want to thank our clients and business partners for their ongoing support," said President and CEO, Iacovos Zachariades.

Global Reach was founded in December 1995 by Iacovos Zachariades and has been headquartered in the Iowa State Research Park, an innovative community for new and expanding businesses, ever since. We're proud to have received a number of industry awards from Davey, W3, and Webby, as well as earning recognition by Inc. Magazine in August of 2013, and again in 2014, as one of the Fastest Growing Private Companies.

Join us as we take a look back at some company highlights, as well as some of the accolades we've received, over the last 20 years!
