About Us
Garrido Printing Equipment Inc. originally got its start in 1986 when Garrido Import and Export was founded by Diego Jose Garrido. In 1989 a request for a Heidelberg printing press was received and Diego found the correct machine. Throughout the search Diego saw that there was a big void in the market to supply high quality, rebuilt printing machinery and decided to focus the business in the Graphic Arts Industry.
As the years passed and experienced was gained in the Graphic Arts Industry, Garrido started distributing American and European Finishing Equipment. The goal was to supply economical, high quality machines for the automation of different processes. Diego traveled the world looking for solutions to his client's needs. In 1995 a need arose for a better manufacturing process of composition notebooks and with that need Garrido Manufacturing was born with the ST-100 sewing and taping machine.
Garrido continued its goal of finding solutions for its customers while adapting to current business environments. Slowly the sale of rebuilt machinery started to decrease while the sale of new machinery increased. In 2007 Garrido trademarked the brand name Advantage Machinery, which is a line of equipment that is manufactured under the strict supervision and control. The line of equipment has grown to have a full packaging division.
Today Garrido is still headed by Diego with the help of his two sons, Juan and Nicolas. All three share the same vision and goal: to provide solutions to their client's needs. They vow to always have the best interest of their customers in mind and to always be open to adapt in order to meet with the changing markets.

Over the past few years we have purchased several pieces of equipment from Garrido that have greatly improved our overall packaging efficiency. The equipment is extremely durable and high quality. We were also very impressed with the customer service and the technical support provided to ensure that the equipment was implemented into our process successfully. Garrido is so much more than an equipment vendor with exceptional products and service, they are partners with a shared vision of continual improvement through automation. The owners really care about their customers, and work very hard to build a strong foundation for future success. Thank you Garrido for your continued support, we are looking forward to the future!

We have been working with Garrido for a several years now. They consistently have superior customer service and support. Beyond that they are really wonderful human beings. Of all the companies we work with Garrido is by far my most favorite! The other really notable thing about this company is the high quality of all the equipment they sell. It is absolutely top notch and the pricing is really reasonable. A match made in Heaven :)
