History[edit]

Inktel was founded in Miami in 1997 by Ricky, Dan, and Ed Arriola, the sons of Joe Arriola, founder of the printing company Avanti Press.[2] In 2001, Inktel was spun off from Avanti[3] when the printing company was sold.[2] As of 2003, Ricky Arriola is CEO of the company, his brother Eddy is executive vice president, and their brother Dan is director of business development.[3]

In 2003, the firm had more than $40 million in annual revenues.[4]

In 2009, Inktel was named the "Best Company to Work For" in the state of Florida.[5] The company received a Silver Award at the 2018 Stevie Awards in the "Employer of the Year – Business Services" category.[6]
