Sandy Alexander (Clifton, NJ) has announced its expansion into high-end retouching and CGI (computer generated imagery) with the acquisition of a state-of-the-art firm and the addition of several senior executives from digital and production services. The high-end creative boutique will be rebranded as SALT Studios and will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Sandy Alexander.

Located in midtown Manhattan, SALT Studios offers creative retouching, a full-service CGI studio, in-house services for digital photography, a full prepress department for ad releases, and a full suite of asset management and online ordering tools.

“Expansion into the high-end retouching and CGI is a natural progression for Sandy Alexander’s long-term strategic vision of offering our clients the broadest array of value added services in the graphics communications industry,” said Mike Graff, president and CEO of Sandy Alexander. “From digital workflow solutions to the final printed piece, Sandy Alexander has the flexibility and horsepower to provide the most impactful and efficient output for any marketing campaign regardless of substrate, size, or quantity.”

Several senior executives have also joined the company to lead SALT Studios. They include Dan Anselmi, the former owner-manager of Imagecraft, a high-end retouching firm. “He has brought his outstanding team of retouchers and digital artists to Sandy Alexander,” Graff said. “Their extensive experience in high-end retouching, image management, and the CGI marketplace provides Sandy Alexander with the highest quality, fastest, and most advanced technology in the image-based cosmetic, fashion, and jewelry industries.”
