COMPANY OVERVIEW
Founded in 1914 by Lew A Cummings, Cummings Printing has been producing magazines, catalogs, brochures and pieces of similar format for over 100 years. Through two World Wars, a depression, several recessions, the internet and countless other challenges, Cummings Printing has stood tall among publication printers. This remarkable achievement has been accomplished by continually staying at the forefront of technology, while remaining family owned and operated.
Over the course of a century Cummings has transformed from a small commercial printer to a full-service publication printer doing business in a new 100,000 square foot facility. 49% of our employees have been with Cummings for over 15 years and jobs are often passed from one generation to the next. This combination of dedicated employees and technology has allowed Cummings to become a leading niche market printer for regional, national and specialty publications with press runs in the range of 1,000 to 100,000. Cummings recently purchased America’s first Komori 38D Web Press capable of producing 32pg standard size forms, 64pg digest size forms and 16pg tabloid size forms.In addition, Cummings reinforces its commitment to quality, backed up by compliance as an ISO 9000 printer.
In our 5th generation, the future looks bright, both from a personnel and an equipment perspective. As we move into our second century, Cummings will continue its tradition of producing quality publications, on time and at the best value.
