The Printery Celebrates 100 Years in Printing

New Berlin, WI – September 15, 2010: Founded as The Badger State Printery in 1910, The Printery, a Consolidated Graphics, Inc. company, celebrates its centennial in September as one of the longest-lived printers in the Midwest. From humble beginnings and a tradition of delivering high-caliber craftsmanship and business integrity, it grew: first by serving the needs of banks and insurance companies of downtown Milwaukee, then through acquisitions to expand its capabilities into a regional market, and eventually by transforming itself into an end-to-end print production company that works in tandem with clients throughout North America.

Due to its long history of quality work and a solid client base, The Printery was acquired by Consolidated Graphics in 1999. As part of one of the world’s leading print companies, The Printery offers high-tech printing and global access to a vast capabilities network through that same convenient Wisconsin printing plant where quality and integrity still thrive after a century of service. “We are very pleased with the growth of The Printery over the past 100 years, and we’re optimistic about the years to come,” said Jim Sullivan, president of The Printery. “With the support of Consolidated Graphics and an increasing focus on technology, we’re prepared to offer our customers a broad range of solutions, while we remain true to the values and service that have led to our past success.”
