Terramar Graphics Challenges Foe’s Claim

Sandra Taylor, a partner in Terramar Graphics, a Moorpark business forms distributor, takes issue with Commander Business Forms’ claim in last week’s column that Commander is the largest in its field in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties.

“We’re just completing our first year in business and we’ve grossed nearly $5 million,” Taylor said. “That’s twice as much business as Commander has.”

Mark Johnson, president of Ventura-based Commander, estimates that his annual revenues will total $2.4 million as a result of the acquisition of a Santa Barbara competitor, Information Plus.

“I didn’t realize Terramar had been in business for a full year, and I had no idea they had that much revenue,” Johnson said in response to Taylor’s comments. “Frankly, I don’t care who’s biggest. It’s all very silly.”

Since both firms are privately held, perhaps their accountants should settle the matter at the top of the Conejo Grade at high noon.
