“It’s about every truck we’ve wrapped, every relationship we’ve earned, and every promise we’ve kept.”
What began as a small startup in 1985 has evolved into a national leader in fleet and commercial graphics, trusted by thousands of companies across the country.
As we celebrate four decades in business, we invite you to explore the milestones that shaped our story—and the people who made it possible.
Fourty Years of Fleet Graphics
TKO Graphix Founded
In 1985, TKO Graphix was founded—then known as TKO Enterprises—in Indianapolis, Indiana. With a bold vision for the future of fleet graphics and operating out of two rented bays in Park 36 off Rockville Road, the company secured its first customers, including Pace Air Freight, Frontier, and Halls Freightway. TKO began building the foundation for the company to become a national graphics leader. In 1986, they hired their first full-time employee, Gary Meunier, who is still with TKO today as an Executive National Accounts Manager.
TKO’s First Facility
As demand for fleet graphics continued to grow, TKO Graphix built its first dedicated facility at 311 Production Drive in Avon, Indiana. For the first time, design, production, and installation were all housed under one roof—streamlining workflows, improving turnaround times, and laying the foundation for the vertically integrated operation we’re known for today.
TKO Graphix Marks 10 Years
A decade after its founding, TKO Graphix reached a major growth milestone by forming its first outside sales team, marking the beginning of a more customer-focused approach to national fleet partnerships.
By 1995, the company had grown to nearly 50 employees and established itself as one of the few fleet-identification providers in the country to offer a fully integrated solution: design, manufacturing, removal, and installation—all under one roof. This full-service model set TKO apart and laid the groundwork for scalable nationwide service.
Growing Installation Services
TKO Graphix takes a significant step forward in fleet service capabilities by launching on-site graphics installation at a major trailer manufacturing facility in Terre Haute, Indiana. By embedding our team directly into the production line, we streamlined the process for OEM partners and strengthened our reputation for precision, reliability, and large-scale coordination. This milestone marked the beginning of deeper manufacturer collaborations.
3M Certification & Installation Credentials
Achieves status as a 3M Scotchprint Graphics Authorized Manufacturer, reflecting TKO’s early adoption of cutting-edge large-format printing technology.
TKO’s installation team becomes 3M-Certified and joins the United Application Standards Group (UASG), underscoring the company’s commitment to quality and nationwide service coverage.
TKO Builds New Headquarters
To support rapid growth and better serve national fleet clients, TKO Graphix opens a custom-built 50,000-square-foot headquarters and production facility in Plainfield, Indiana. Designed specifically for high-volume fleet graphics manufacturing, the new space dramatically increases production capacity and operational efficiency.
New Dedicated Installation Hub
Meeting the growing demand and to improve scheduling flexibility for fleet customers, TKO Graphix constructs a dedicated installation facility in Brazil, Indiana. This purpose-built hub expands installation capacity further to handle high-volume rollouts while gaining control over quality, timelines, and logistics.
Expanding Our Installation Footprint
During this time, TKO’s installation crews expanded further with added locations in Statesboro, GA; Jonesboro, AR; Danville, PA; Kewanee, IL and Elysburg, PA.
From factory lines to national fleet rollouts, TKO Graphix grew into a robust, multi-state installation network—ensuring brand consistency coast to coast. Locations added
Diversified Services
Launches TKO Marketing Solutions, a promotional products division, to offer clients branded apparel, merchandise, and other marketing materials – expanding TKO’s one-stop service model.
Production Milestone
TKO reaches an unprecedented volume of work by applying graphics to 50,000 vehicles in a single year, a testament to booming demand and TKO’s capacity to serve large national fleets at scale.
Recognized as a Top Workplace
TKO Graphix was honored as an Indianapolis Star Top Workplace in both 2023 and 2024—an employee-nominated award that highlights the company’s strong culture, team spirit, and ongoing commitment to creating a positive and supportive work environment. These back-to-back recognitions reflect the strength of the “TKO family” and its role in driving long-term success.
As we mark four decades in the fleet graphics industry, TKO Graphix proudly celebrates 40 years of growth, innovation, and trust. This milestone isn’t just about the years—it’s about the thousands of fleets we’ve helped brand, the relationships we’ve built, and the dedicated team members who’ve made it all possible. With deep gratitude, we thank every client, partner, and employee who’s been part of the journey.
Here’s to the journey behind us and the road still ahead!
