Gorham Printing celebrates 30 years in the printing business with a new location!

In 1976, Kurt and Norma Gorham opened a commercial print shop in downtown Centralia, Washington. They entered a world of fast-paced deadlines, building a reputation for integrity and professionalism with larger corporate clients. After 15 years in commercial printing, they decided to change their focus to book printing.

Over the years they have kept pace with the evolution of printing technology. Major advancements in the methods of a mostly mechanical pre-press area have now changed to a completely computerized book design department. New technology has aided in the pressroom and bindery area as well. Digital printing, once just a dream, is now a reality facilitating a method for short-run books at a reasonable cost. Much has changed in 30 years, but Gorham Printing continues to thrive and grow into the future.

Gorham Printing opened their new location in November of 2006. The new building is being constructed at the Port of Centralia, on the corner of Mahoney and Steelhammer streets. The new location features 7,500 square feet, allowing more room for future expansion. The location--close to Centralia and Interstate 5--will allow easier access. The future looks bright for streamlined workflows and increased production!
