Hitchcock Press had its beginning in Holyoke, Massachusetts over one hundred years ago. The Wisly Company, as it was known then, and its affiliate the Axtell Company printed items by letterpress using mostly hand set type. It also printed by the lithographic process where heavy litho stones were used. Those stones were hand engraved and fine details were possible, limited only by the skill of the engraver. The company changed ownership in 1956 and was renamed Hitchcock Press. In 1971, J. Guy Gaulin purchased the business. He brought substantial offset and letterpress printing experience and high standards of quality and service. Those standards have remained the keystone of the organization's philosophy.

Today Hitchcock Press produces high quality sheet-fed offset and “Fine Letterpress” printing with emphasis on unique solutions for our customers. Our products range from one-color to four-color process printing with size up to 28”x40". We also produce a variety of manufactured paper items.

We employ a highly professional staff to focus on our customers' needs. Our customer oriented management team consists of Michelle Robert, General Manager; Claudine Edwards, Customer Service Manager; and Deanna Gaulin, Finance and Human Resource Manager. They are supported by a skilled and experienced group of employees second to none. Guy, our president, ensures that this collective skill, experience, and professionalism remain focused on our customers' needs.
