Our design of this annual report reflected a record setting year for Specialty Equipment Companies (SEC) and its manufacturing divisions.

The company reached new domestic and international sales achievements and moved to the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: SEC) in December of 1998.

The first 12 pages of this 60 page report were produced in 4 colors, to showcase a selection of products manufactured by SEC's different equipment divisions.

The adjoining 48 page 10K financial report was made easier to read, with more visual waypoints, formatting and organization, to help investors more readily find the information they want.

As with the SEC international brochure we recently completed, this annual report emphasizes the wide range of products available from this foodservice equipment leader.

Its long term relationships with companies including McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, Dairy Queen, Baskin Robbins, 7-Eleven, Coca-Cola and PepsiCo, have been instrumental in SEC's success and a contributing reason for their penetration into over 150 nations.

By working closely with the SEC management team, we were able to take this annual report to a new level of design and corporate image, which reflects the success this Chicago based corporation is enjoying.
