In 1970 Hal Tray founded Tray Business Systems which quickly became a leader in supplying business forms and stationery to the Washington Metro area. The company was built on Mr. Tray’s vision and focus on providing impeccable service and quality products at a competitive price. As markets evolved and technology advanced throughout the years, so did Tray into commercial printing and direct mail services while the core values instilled by Mr. Tray have remained the foundation of our company.
In 1981 Tray moved into the commercial printing market and in 1988 began offering promotional products as well as establishing an in-house graphic design department offering our clients a single source solution to their business’s needs. Our client base has grown tremendously over the past four decades, and we have always remained true to the simple credo of taking care of the client, which is evident as we continue to service many clients who were the core of the business when founded over 40 years ago.
Mr. Tray retired in 2000, and turned the company over to his faithful employees. As an employee owned company, we value our clients as partners in our future growth. Our account managers average over 12 years with Tray and take a personal stake in your success. Contrary to the industry norm, clients are not passed off to a customer service representative. Our clients will work exclusively with an experienced account manager from graphic design to production and logistics.
We take pride in our ownership of our company, we take pride in our valued clients, and we take pride in how we started and who we have become…WE ARE TRAY!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Glen Burnie, MD, Sept. 1, 2011 – Tray, Inc. announced today that they have been awarded a spot on Inc. Magazine’s top 500|5000 list of fastest growing privately held companies. The Inc. team evaluates a company’s past three consecutive years of revenue growth in order to determine which companies make this prestigious list.
“In these challenging economic times, particularly in the print industry, we think this is an outstanding accomplishment,” says Brian Burlace, President of Tray. “There is pricing pressure as our clients’ marketing budgets are slashed, and our entire team has had to work extremely hard these past few years to achieve our growth. This is a remarkable achievement for every one of our employees, and I’m proud of them.” Burlace explained.
“More than ever, this year’s list is a testament to the creativity, resilience, and tenacity of America’s top entrepreneurs,” said the Inc. team in its congratulatory letter. “Winners share this pedigree with notable companies such as Intuit, Microsoft, Zappos, Under Armour, Patagonia, Visa, Oracle and scores of other business powerhouses,” they noted.
The company applied for the Inc. Fastest Growing list last April on the advice of a marketing consultant. Last week, an Inc. 500 box with the announcement and a congratulatory note was delivered to Tray’s offices. “We were stunned and delighted,” says John Long, CFO of Tray. “I knew we could do it!”
