It is creating a system that can produce, distribute and install that vision across different footprints, formats and operational conditions. Imagine brings those capabilities together through one connected partner.\"\n\nImagine Studio and the company's production and execution platform cover environmental and experience strategy, concept development, rendering, CAD and 3D modeling, engineering, prototyping, value engineering, production, packaging, distribution and installation. Imagine also develops creative-to-installation playbooks that translate an approved vision into repeatable standards for production teams, installers and on-site partners. Production and installation teams are based on the East Coast, in the Midwest and on the West Coast.\n\n## Imagine's Production and Partnership Record\n\n[IMAGINE](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/00063f7/imagine) is a privately held US commercial printing and visual communications company founded in 2004 and headquartered in Shakopee, according to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data).
