History
 

Spanning over 100 years of a company's history and condensing it to a web page is a challenge.  We realize your finger is on the mouse button, and "history" may not be the most important thing you want to learn about us.  Here is the abridged version:

In the year 1897, a newspaper publisher/editor, George F. Norton, and Thomas M. Hiltzheimer established the company that in time would become known as Winchester Printers.  Back then, The George F. Norton Publishing Company offered commercial printing, embossing, engraving high class stationery, blank books, office art, and school supplies.

In 1929, the company became known as Winchester Printers and Stationers, Inc.  1936 saw another name change, to Pifer Printing and Stationery.  In 1952, the company split into two entities: Pifer Printing and Pifer Office Supply.  The company moved to its long-time former location at 116 North Braddock Street in 1965.  Five years later, another name change brought the company to its present name, Winchester Printers, Inc., under the leadership of the Hottle family.

As the graphics industry has evolved to its present hi-tech state, we have endeavored to upgrade our equipment and facilities to stay on the leading edge.  In 2001, we built our current 25,000 square foot plant on five acres just east of Winchester, allowing space for updated equipment and future expansion.
