Creating Opportunities Through Print: Walsworth’s Mission

At Walsworth, we believe in creating a positive impact on every level. Our company mission is to create opportunities for our team, customers and communities through print. This commitment extends beyond simply producing high-quality printing solutions – it’s about fostering a thriving environment for our team, building lasting partnerships with our customers and making a meaningful difference in the communities where we operate.

Supporting Our Team: A Foundation of Growth

A happy, skilled and engaged team is the cornerstone of our success. We prioritize the well-being of our employees by offering:

Competitive Pay and Benefits: We strive to provide industry-leading compensation and a comprehensive benefits package that includes health insurance, retirement plans and paid time off.

Training and Advancement Opportunities: We invest in the growth of our team through ongoing training programs, job shadow opportunities and clear career paths.

Employee Engagement Initiatives: We actively seek employee feedback through initiatives like our annual Employee Engagement Survey. This valuable input has helped us identify areas for improvement and implement changes that enhance the employee experience.

By creating a supportive and rewarding work environment, we empower our team to excel and achieve their full potential.

Serving Our Customers: Unparalleled Partnership

Our commitment to our customers goes beyond simply fulfilling orders. We strive to be true partners by providing:

Unrivaled Customer Service: We prioritize building strong, long-term relationships with our customers based on trust, communication and a deep understanding of their unique programs. Our skilled Sales Representatives are trained to find unique solutions to meet our customers’ needs while helping them stay on schedule and within budget. Our dedicated Customer Service Representatives practice open communication, relaying any changes or complications in the printing process to ensure on-time delivery.

Top-Quality Printing Solutions: Walsworth invests in state-of-the-art printing equipment and expert employees so our customers know they can expect high-quality print pieces every single time. We employ G7-certified staff who help ensure perfect color representation with each print.

Decades of Stability: With over 88 years of experience in the printing industry, Walsworth has a strong track record of continuing to serve our customers despite changing economic and supply chain factors. With a strategically developed supply chain, we source the majority of our raw materials from U.S.-based suppliers, putting our company in a strong position against potential foreign import tariffs.

Giving Back to Our Communities: A Commitment to Growth

As a company deeply rooted in our communities, we believe in giving back. We are proud to:

Support Local Economies: Our operations in small towns like Marceline, Missouri, provide valuable job opportunities and contribute significantly to the local economy. Our printing facilities are located in Marceline, Brookfield and Fulton, Missouri; Overland Park, Kansas; Saint Joseph, Michigan; and Ripon and Eau Claire, Wisconsin. 

Invest in Community Programs: We actively support local organizations and initiatives through programs like the Walsworth Family Foundation. For example, the Foundation has provided significant support to the Walsworth Community Center, providing recreational opportunities and community gathering space for local residents. In 2023, Walsworth also pledged a donation of $100,000 over five years to the Boys & Girls Club of Ripon, Wisconsin, helping support their campaign to build a new facility that offers a full-size gym, teen center and on-site trade work learning opportunities.

Implement Sustainable Printing Practices: Walsworth holds certifications with the Sustainable Forestry Initiative® (SFI®) program and the Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) (FSC-C004755). Through every step of our manufacturing process, we adhere to our established chain of custody procedures. These procedures ensure that we purchase, track, produce and deliver products with raw materials harvested and produced from responsible and renewable sources. Additionally, we’ve installed low-emission press equipment in our plants and use easily recyclable, vegetable oil-based ink to minimize our carbon footprint.

By actively engaging with our communities, we strive to create a positive and lasting impact on the lives of those who live and work in the areas where we operate.
