Bill Terrell  
Being born and raised in the Chicago Land area, I attended the local schools. Throughout high school, I worked at Jewel Food Stores and continued to work full time while attending night school at Bogan Jr. College. Throughout my years at Jewel, I was involved in their "Trainee Program". Becoming manager of Jewel was a benefit of passing the Trainee Program.

Bill Terrell worked in the grocery business for 35 years. 18 Years was spent in supermarket chains which led to his owning and operating his own supermarket for 17 more years. Upon the sale of his store in 1988, Bill came to work for Fisher Printing, Inc.

Bill's Client base at Fisher Printing consists of grocery supermarkets, both chain store and independent food stores, drug chains, video rentals chains, automotive ads, dealerships, wholesale part stores, and wine/liquor chains.

Bill and his wife have been married 11 years, and have a combined family of 5 wonderful children and 6 grandchildren. Bill enjoys boating, fishing and his '57 Chevy!

Chris Fischer  
While I am proud to carry the Fischer name, I am most proud to work with our family of skilled and dedicated employees who, each and every day, carry on the wonderful legacy of service and attention to detail that my grandfather began over 70 years ago.

Obviously, I didn’t have to look too far to find summer and part-time jobs as a kid. My entire professional career has been in the printing industry. I was introduced to all aspects of the industry including pre-press, estimating, properties of paper, bindery and printing presses at a young age and always knew this was what I wanted to do.

I received my degree from Northern Illinois University in 1985 with an emphasis in graphic arts and industrial safety. Since then my focus at Fisher Printing continues to be in sales, new technologies and project management, specifically developing turnkey advertising programs for manufacturers and dealer networks.

Tight deadlines and innovative solutions are some of the aspects of my job that I enjoy the most. For example, in 1997, we installed our first direct to plate system along with a new commercial press line. This allowed me to set a new goal for our company. By working closely with my customer, and in tandem with our ink and paper suppliers, together we succeeded to print the highest quality product ever produced at Fisher Printing and were subsequently awarded the National Gold Ink Award sponsored by Publishing and Production Executive and Printing Impressions.

Today we are the “Preferred Marketing Service Provider” for one of the largest furniture retailers in the world and I hope my efforts and commitment to first class service have helped make that success a reality. But the bottom line is that Fisher Printing’s technology and collective talent enable us to produce the lowest cost and highest quality free standing inserts available. Period.

When I sign my name on a contract, I want to exceed our client’s expectation. I want my children to know there is honor in a job well done.

So if you like to golf, play racquetball or ride a Harley, give me a call and we’ll have even more to talk about.

Should you need my assistance on your print idea, or on an existing print requirement, please contact me at Chrisf@FisherPrinting.net and/or call: (877) 9-Print-9, ext. 130.
