SIGVARIS Recognizes Atlanta Landmarks - Piedmont Park, King Plow and ONE Midtown Kitchen

July 30, 2009 - PRLog -- Atlanta, GA  -- SIGVARIS is recognizing Atlanta landmarks such as Piedmont Park, King Plow Arts Center and One Midtown Kitchen in an upcoming marketing campaign to celebrate the introduction of several new products that were designed in their Atlanta-area US manufacturing facility.  A recent photo shoot led by commercial photographer, Rick Newby, captured all of these well-known places in scenes that will be used in SIGVARIS product packaging and related advertising.

“We believe the resulting photographs are a beautiful reflection of our garments as well as a celebration of the wonderful place in which we live, and where our company thrives.  We are excited about the photos’ inclusion in our upcoming product packaging and advertising campaigns,” said Lisa Wells, SIGVARIS North America Marketing Communications.  “SIGVARIS sincerely appreciates the support and kindness of all of the Atlanta locations that participated in our recent local photo shoot.”

King Plow Arts Center
Originally built in 1890, King Plow has been transformed from an antiquated plow factory into an arts community and center for commercial, performing and visual arts. In 1990, the owners designed a plan to build affordable live/work studios, commercial artist spaces, art galleries, areas designed for the performing arts, and a restaurant within the buildings while preserving their historic and architectural significance. The King Plow Arts Center has more than sixty-five tenants representing fine, commercial and performing arts, and serves as a model of adaptive reuse of historic structures and a catalyst for the proposed Marietta Street Arts Corridor. King Plow is the largest center of its kind in the city and has become a significant part of Atlanta's Arts community. Address: 955 W. Marietta St. N.W., Atlanta, GA 30318.
