John L Trucksis founded Trucksis Enterprises in
 Chicago, Illinois in 1980.

With thirty-five years experience in the flag and banner industry, in 1980 John L. Trucksis founded Trucksis Enterprises, Inc. in Chicago, Ill.  Following John’s death in 1983, his daughter Merry, following a strong desire to fulfill her father’s vision and integrating her design and sales experience, stepped into the leadership role of the business. Merry quickly expanded the business to include banner and flag design, in addition to distributing raw materials and finished products, and providing consulting services to Trucksis customers.

Trucksis moves to California and builds strong client portfolio

In 1985 Merry moved the business to Lake Tahoe, California, and within a year was awarded the downhill ski event flag business for the 1992 Winter Olympics in Val d’Isere, France.  In an effort to insure long-term business success, Merry conducted extensive market research and discovered a strong market existed for Trucksis products and services in the Monterey Peninsula area. In 1987 the business moved to Monterey and through persistent sales efforts Trucksis built a portfolio of prestigious clients including the Pebble Beach Company, AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, Concours d’Elegance, the Salinas Rodeo, Laguna Seca Raceway and the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Trucksis currently boasts a national client base including premier clients MCI, HSBC, LeMans Corporation and Nextel.
