A garage on Chicago's
South Side was the site of the original Fisher Printing operation.
The year was 1933 and Willard "Pete" Fischer, then 21 years old,
restored a hand-fed-sheet-fed press and began taking orders for the
printing of sales receipts.
The door-to-door
circular business got off the ground later in the 30's when the
Carnation Milk Company approached Willard to form a printing
partnership. This joint venture took off immediately, with
Carnation selling the ad program and Fisher printing the circular
pieces. The business began to blossom, and at the same time Fisher
Printing opened up new areas of printing which are still served by
today's company.
By the end of World
War II the corporation was specializing in commercial printing of
advertising circulars. Unable to meet the demands of a growing
business, the enterprising Fischer family purchased its first web
offset press.
After three moves to
accommodate their expanding market Willard "Pete" Fischer opened
our current facility in 1947. After years of long hours and a under
staffed company, Willard "Pete" Fischer's sons, Thomas and Willard
J. Fischer joined the corporation. Since the arrival of Thomas and
Willard J. Fischer , we have expanded one more time. This new
operation was opened up in Orange, California by Willard J.
Fischer.
The success of Fisher
Printing is a direct result of the total commitment and team work
of our loyal employees. This dedication to quality and service
continues today, which will ensure total customer satisfaction
every time you choose to print with Fisher Printing, Inc.
