Our People

K.Y. Chow, Founder and President 

K.Y. started GM printing in 1993 and taught himself the printing press business from A-Z with a very simple philosophy: to provide the best products and services to his customers.

Prior to creating GM printing, K.Y. was a Director with Well Capital Management in New York, a consulting company that managed hotels and franchised businesses. He moved to New York from Hong Kong in the 1990s after a successful career as a merchant banker that managed multi-million dollar portfolios.

Constantly seeking new challenges, K.Y. developed his business to become a successful government procurement contractor. In addition to providing printing services to multiple New York City and New York State agencies, GM printing is the official printer for New York City Economic Development Corporation and Lower Manhattan Development Corporation. Through his leadership of the company's operations and utilization of progressive business practices, K.Y. has built a dynamic business that inspires his fellow small business owners for success in obtaining government contracts.

In addition to leading a successful small business, K.Y. was appointed by the New York City Deputy Mayor's Office to serve as a Board Member of the Chinatown Partnership LDC, an organization that implements major initiatives in tourism, marketing and public space improvements in Lower Manhattan, New York. He is also actively involved in various community organizations throughout New York.

K.Y. is a frequent panel speaker on MWBE certification, government procurement, and small business management. He received his bachelor's degree in Accounting from the Hong Kong Baptist University, and holds an MBA in Management from Asian Institute of Management, Philippines. He is fluent in Cantonese and Mandarin.
