e tan, e epi tan – With this, or upon this

Imprimis has adopted the Greek motto e tan e epi tan which means "With this, or on this". This phrase was a charge by Spartan mothers to their sons to either return from battle with their shield or be carried home dead upon it.

The Spartans were fierce warriors. Though often outnumbered, they overcame overwhelming odds and proved that a small, highly trained force with a sound strategic and tactical plan could stand victorious.

"Small on the outside, not the inside": another phrase that sums up Imprimis’ skill, expertise and commitment to mission success. With a small force of highly trained and experience professionals, Imprimis has proven time and again that an organization doesn’t have to be large to be successful.

The motto goes to commitment, not size. Total commitment to achieving the mission objective is ... Imprimis!
