OWL FACT
Owls rotate their heads 270 degrees
In 1929, the company became known as Winchester Printers and Stationers, Inc.
This year saw another name change, to Pifer Printing and Stationery.
The company split into two entities: Pifer Printing + Pifer Office Supply.
The company moved to its long-time former location at 116 North Braddock Street.
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 2000, we built our current 25,000 square foot plant on five acres just east of Winchester, allowing space for updated equipment and future expansion.
These are exciting times for Winchester Printers! Our logo has undergone a transformation, but our mission remains the same.
OWL FACT
Many owl species have asymmetrical ears. These are different sizes and different heights on their heads. This gives the birds superior hearing and the ability to pinpoint where prey is located, even if they can’t see it.
