Company History

Few companies possess Johnson & Quin’s incredible record of stability. In business for 133 years, Johnson & Quin has evolved into a national leader of targeted, full-service direct mail printing and production.

We began as a printing company, founded in 1876 as the N.M. Johnson Company to manufacture blank books, paper and rulers. When Thomas Stephen Quin joined the company in 1896, the business was renamed Johnson & Quin.

Throughout the years, Johnson & Quin has prospered by deploying the latest technologies and adapting to the changing marketplace. The company led the introduction of laser printing to the Midwest in 1979, which soon transformed Johnson & Quin into a full-service direct mail production company.

We offer the latest data and personalization technologies, cutting-edge printing with both laser and ink jet printers, and certified data security practices. The innovation, flexibility, and solid financial credentials that propelled us throughout our history remains at the core of the way we work today.
