Personal Attention. Innovative Methods. Exceptional Work.

Forman Motor Co. is a tight-knit, Bay Area-based team of skilled printing experts. We take pride in bringing together the many moving parts of a successful print project and, like our namesake family automotive dealership, making them run like a well-oiled machine – by being fully present for each client, with personal attention, hands-on care, modern and traditional technology, and a passion for real human relationships deployed every step of the way. 

Chip Forman
Founder & President

 

Chip was inexplicably drawn to the craft of printing as a young adult. Eventually, he found the industry to be the perfect intersection of his passions for art, technology, and human relations. After earning a degree in Graphic Communications from Cal-Poly, S.L.O., he embarked on a long career working for companies large and small, including nearly 30 years spent founding and growing his own printing businesses from scratch. 

He has been fortunate to collaborate with (and learn from) some of the top creative firms in the Bay Area. Forman Motor Co. is the culmination of experience gained and lessons learned from award-winning designers – a chance to serve long-tenured and brand new clients alike with the kind of efficient, effective, and attentive service that can only be honed with years of practice. 

Regina Nieto Battad
Customer Relations

 

Regina has partnered with Chip for over 20 years to guide projects from procurement to delivery. Her patient, client-first approach is informed by a deep love of people, a respect for craft, and clear, constant communication. Regina is a consummate problem-solver who, with her talent for detail-oriented oversight (a byproduct of her Engineering degree), enjoys producing the highest quality work for Forman Motor Co.’s clientele, on time and on point in every aspect.

Pepa Reimann
Creative Services

 

With over 20 years of well-rounded creative industry experience, Pepa brings an eye for unique tactile detail, strong management and problem-solving skills, and a love for sophisticated, high-quality design to each project. She collaborates with Forman Motor Co.’s clients as their link between creatives and printers, ensuring their unique artistic vision translates to beautifully printed pieces.
