The AIIM Story

Our History

Avant Imaging and Integrated Media (AIIM) was founded in 1990 by brothers Frank and Mario Giorgio. From a regional commercial printer, AIIM has grown to be a leader in print and digital marketing  communications.

The acquisition of AIIM by Vegvisir Capital in spring 2022, and further growth with the acquisition of Prime Data, Inc and EnFo Technologies, launched AIIM into the forefront of the direct mail industry in North America. This amalgamation created an all-star team of experts focused on delivering revenue growth for our customers with recurring and integrated marketing communications.  

Carbon neutral direct mail program availability to AIIM clients is one of the many positive outcomes of these mergers.
