Our Story

Frye-Williamson Press, Inc. can trace its origins to the late 19th century to the Frye Printing Co. and Williamson Press which began in the early 20th century. Both companies were leaders in commercial printing in downstate Illinois offering a wide range of products to local businesses, state government and statewide associations headquartered in Springfield.

Throughout its history, the company has always been owned and managed by local individuals who were very active in the daily operation of the business. Access to key management by employees and customers created loyalty and trust. As clients needs expanded, so too, did the company's abilities to meet those needs by investing in new technology and attracting and retaining a highly skilled workforce. We still operate the business with the same core philosophies that were instilled by Mssrs. Frye, Babcock and H.L. Williamson.

To create the most complete printing facility in Springfield, Frye Printing and Williamson Press merged in 1968 to form Frye-Williamson Press, Inc. We continue to take the lead in investing in people and equipment, which have improved the speed, quality and efficiency of delivering print communications. The company has evolved by responding rapidly to society's ever increasing demand for more information. Whether it has been the first 4 color printing unit installed in Springfield or the first commercial print shop in the area to have a 100% digital workflow, FWP focus has always been to first identify the customers needs, then expand to accommodate them.
