Hugh Nguyen

CEO

Originally from Vietnam, Hugh is a transplant from Pittsburg but has called Houston home for over 35 years. Hugh was submerged in the printing and reprographic industry at the young age of 14. Working in his parents’ small reprographic company, Hugh learned the ropes from sweeping the press room to operating a press, to Vice President of Sales and then President of the company. Hugh and his brothers grew the business into the largest Asian owned printing company in Houston. Hugh and his wife Christy launched Absolute Color in 2001, providing industry-leading print technology and turn-key solutions for their clients.
