Bud Frame
has a history of business success as both
a corporate manager and as an entrepreneur.
His corporate career was
in key sales, marketing and management positions
at Case?Hoyt Corporation during which the
company became the largest producer of high-quality
printed annual reports and magazines in
the country. He then struck out on his own
and purchased an office products manufacturing
company, which he led to new levels of sales
revenues and profitability.
Over a 30-year career
at Case?Hoyt, Frame held every sales and
marketing position, from entry level to
executive vice president and the executive
committee, gaining important experience
in marketing, sales, distribution, finance
and human resources.
As executive vice president,
Case?Hoyt became the highest quality producer
of four?color process in the country, the
largest producer of blue?chip annual reports
(i.e., IBM, Exxon, Mobil, GE, Kodak, Xerox)
and the producer of quality, award?winning
magazines such as Architectural Digest and
Gourmet. Market share increased exponentially
and annual revenues grew from less than
$1 million to $120 million during his tenure.
After leaving Case?Hoyt,
Frame purchased Forbes, a manufacturer of
business binders, presentation materials,
portfolios and diaries. During his 14 years
of ownership, the company tripled in size
and achieved its highest return on invested
capital.
Frame, who received a
B.A. from the University of Rochester, has
served the community in various capacities,
