alphabroder CEO Discusses Growth and Success from Neshaminy Interplex Headquarters
1. SM
Neshaminy Interplex: Thank you Drew for your time today.
As always, it appears there’s a lot going on at alphabroder.
Drew Maristch: Seems like just yesterday we were building
work stations and unpacking boxes. But yes, I think there’s
always a lot of activity around our offices due to the nature of
our business.
NI: Last time we did this type of interview, you had just moved
here from your space in Hunting Park, Philadelphia. Can you
tell us why you were motivated to move back then, and what
you’ve found with the Interplex since?
Drew: Sure. We initially sought out space at Neshaminy
Interplex to attract top tier talent to our company. We figured by
having a more upscale location with many more convenienc-
es we’d be able to grow faster and offer amenities we were
previously lacking.
NI: From the recent renewing of your lease for another ten
years, we can assume that it worked?
Drew: Yes, objectives met. We have definitely been able to hire
top talent in this competitive market and grow our business.
On the heels of acquiring NES Clothing in 2005, we continued
to grow steadily and really flourished in the Interplex.
NI: The location change from the old place was beneficial?
Drew: No question being here is a benefit in so many ways.
Our executives, board members and customers who come to
visit find the business park convenient. The Radisson is used
regularly by senior executives coming from different parts of
the country. The local car service is great for airport pickups
too. Even myself, coming from New Jersey, find the location
to be significantly more convenient. And the majority of our
150 employees here would agree.
NI: With your new lease, are you planning any major changes
inside the space?
Drew: A bit of freshening up is on the horizon in the coming
weeks. When we took this space almost ten years ago, we
had specific needs in mind which were met at that time. Our
growth has been based around the current functional office
layout. So, nothing major needs changing except this little
facelift we have planned.
NI: What Interplex amenities do you find popular among the
staff at alphabroder?
Drew: Smoke’n Dudes, for one! I know they love that. The fes-
tivals that bookend the season (Spring Fest and Fall Fest) are
very popular around here. I know everyone makes sure to at-
tend those. I can think of one employee in particular who uses
the on-site day care center and loves that she can walk over at
lunchtime and check on her daughter. Also, the partnerships
you put in place here are so beneficial. Wawa is great, Andy’s
diner is a nice change of pace – just having resources around
for those looking to grab a quick bite is really nice.

Much has changed since we last sat down with alphabroder in the spring of 2005. Back then they were a brand new tenant to
Neshaminy Interplex, leasing the top two floors in BUILDING SIX. That amount of space meant they were clearly a company with
growth on their mind. We figured after 10 years it was time to catch up on what’s new with them here in the park, and throughout
their corporation. We sat down with Director of Leasing and Corporate Operations Drew Maristch for a little one-on-one.

2. NI: Thank you. We work hard to build those partnerships.
Drew: It shows! Plus, your facilities team, your maintenance
guys, they have been so receptive to the needs of our manage-
ment. Even when our executive team wants to get away from
this office to push through some items without distractions, they
go downstairs and use the second floor conference room. It’s a
great feature to the building.
NI: That’s perfect that you can benefit from that. Anything else
you’ve found helpful?
Drew: I remember about halfway through our first lease
Arnie Lurie in your management office helped us get on the
generator hookup. It has kicked on a couple times over the years
and helps protect our valuable work stations during an infre-
quent power outage. He also helped us establish a point-to-point
wireless communication system with our IT office over in
BUILDING EIGHT. Arnie again brought in reliable partners
to assist with equipment set up and structural studies to be
sure the building could handle our large servers.
NI: So what’s on the agenda in the coming years for alpha-
broder? Acquisitions, staff growth?
Drew: In early 2013 we added Imprints Wholesale headquartered in Denver to our major operations. And about
a year ago our major acquisition of Ash City allowed us access to the Canadian market and helped to expand our
already robust private label offering. With this deal, our access in North America grew significantly. We’ve also
taken a new path toward building a solutions environment, becoming more of a service partner to our customers.
NI: For those who don’t know, you’ve primarily dealt in selling imprintable apparel supplies, correct?
Drew: Yes, we are a direct resource to embroiderers and screen printers for brand name apparel, promotional prod-
ucts and accessories. In fact, millions of people wear our apparel every day without knowing it – from golf shirts,
concert tees, fleece jackets, vacation souvenirs – odds are that it made its way through one of our North American
Distribution Centers. Representing more than 75 brands, from American Apparel to Champion, Izod to Russell
Athletic and so many more, alphabroder is the primary wholesaler in this realm across North America.
NI: With such a large North American reach, how do you stay so customer service oriented?
Drew: With this being our HQ, the operations department can effectively manage the flow of our 20,000+ aver-
age daily orders. In fact, we are positioned to be able to offer next day delivery to about 94% of the country, which
helps accommodate customer demand. Our distribution strategy helps ensure we have inventory available where
and when customers need it.
NI: That’s impressive. So things remain good for alphabroder?
Drew: We’re positioned perfectly to continue to serve existing customers and build new relationships as we expand
our product lines. And we acknowledge that having a highly professional office environment is key to this growth.

3. Your Letters
One of the most important elements of the holiday season for us at the
Neshaminy Interplex is our connection to Bucks County Special Olympics.
Not only do we enjoy seeing these young athletes excel in their respective
competitions, but appreciate the dedication it takes for the more than 670
volunteers who make this program so successful.
Over the past six holiday seasons, Korman Commercial Properties has
donated $5,000.00 to our local chapter of Special Olympics on behalf of our
Interplex tenants. We know all donations are used for sports equipment, train-
ing programs, travel, and more. Bucks County Special Olympics has grown
to feature 650 athletes. The Neshaminy Interplex is proud to be a part of these
efforts and wish all of these incredibly dedicated athletes continued achieve-
ment in their upcoming winter and spring events!

From line dancing to cider sipping, Fall Fest at the Neshaminy Interplex was by all accounts a
great success! With a gorgeous October day on hand, people gathered around the fountain
and celebrated our annual lunchtime tradition like never before. In addition to a great selection
of barbecue sandwiches, sodas, salads, and fun foods like soft pretzels and caramel apples, the
crowd seemed extra enthusiastic – especially when the DJ got everyone going with dancing and
singing. (We noticed a few stragglers not quite ready to go back to their buildings
after the food vendors folded up their tents!) In all seriousness,
Korman Commercial management thanks all of our tenants for their
continued support of the Neshaminy Interplex. These festivals are
held for you – and we’re glad you take the time to stop down and
enjoy the day. We look forward to seeing everyone back for more fun
at Spring Fest in May!
