“On May 26, 1986 a small team assembled as Presentation Products, Inc. to sell and support simplistic visual products. Over the years, Presentation Products grew up quickly and became a leading provider of audio-visual technology to corporate, government and educational customers. We soon came to realize, though, that future customers’ expectations would shift toward addressing broader business issues. We would need to be positioned to help, and would need to invest in our people so that knowledge became a core competency. Our mission today is to be a fun, world-class, and customer intimate provider of integrated audio-visual solutions, developing imaginative and strategic elations with our customers, employees and industry partners. While much has changed, including our name, “SPINITAR”, we are now a larger team of talented people providing solutions to customer needs.”

On May 26th 1986, a small team led by Jeff and Barbara Irvin assembled Presentation Products, Inc. PPI's primary business was selling and supporting lettering systems and other simplistic visual products.
In the early days it was fairly simple. One application for this lettering and labeling equipment was to create type for overhead transparencies. We accessorized the lettering gear with overhead transparency film & projectors as well as screens, carts, easels and miscellaneous other "state of the art" presentation gear.
A lot has happened since then. Fueled by receptivity to a device called the personal computer, customer expectations changed. So, instead of bucking the trend, PPI leaped into the technology curve and began providing visual solutions used in tandem with the PC. Our business, and our world for that matter, expanded and changed right along with our customer's. Presentation Products has grown quickly and has become a provider of audiovisual technology to Business, Government and Educational customers.
We soon came to realize that present and future customer expectations may shift toward addressing broader business issues through technology. We needed to be in position to help.
If we were to provide solutions versus just a box full of technology, we had to invest in our people so that the knowledge became a core competency. Presentation Product's depth in audio visual services - creative, training, design/engineering, installation, integration, rental and technical would allow us to move beyond just the technology, and instead get us right to the core of the customer problem. Talk about being valuable to the customer!
In 2000, Presentation Products changed its name to Spinitar with a clear vision to position the company as a leading audiovisual systems integration company. We moved into a state-of-the-art facility in La Mirada, (Los Angeles) California, which is now our headquarters. Spinitar currently occupies more than 27,000 square feet of office and warehouse space in the La Mirada headquarters and we have additional offices in San Francisco, Sacramento, and San Diego. Today, Spinitar proudly features more than 100 business professionals sharing a common mission and vision.
SPINITAR was recognized as being in the top 100 Fastest Growing Private Companies in Los Angeles in 2000, 2001 and most recently in 2002.
