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.
