Our Commitments

Eighty-seven years ago, Don Walsworth founded our family-owned printing company in Marceline, Missouri. His vision was to build a company with a reputation for treating its employees and customers like family. Today, Don O. Walsworth, CEO, his son, Don Walsworth, President, and his grandson, Tripp Walsworth, Director of Client Relations, are still committed to this tradition.

This four-generation-long commitment goes beyond exceeding the expectations of our customers; this commitment creates a culture of respect, integrity and honesty that shapes everything we do.

Commitment to Our Values

We are committed to upholding our company values of F.I.R.S.T.:

Fun – We work hard to foster a vibrant atmosphere for our employees.

Integrity – We encourage our staff to maintain honesty and accountability at all times.

Respect – We strive to treat each other with kindness, courtesy and appreciation.

Safety – We empower our people to maintain a safe workplace.

Teamwork – We collaborate to provide solutions and achieve goals.

Commitment to Our Mission

Our mission statement guides the strategic foundation of our company: Creating opportunities for our team, customers and communities through print.

The commitment to opportunity manifests in our history of supporting small communities by providing jobs and keeping our plants humming with work. We believe in the value of investing in the people who make our company great. For us, printing isn’t just a job – it’s a way to make a difference in our employees’ and customers’ lives and the communities where they live.

Our company continually strives to provide exceptional service and a high-quality product for our customers. We are committed to helping our customers succeed, keeping our employees employed in their communities and positioning our company for another 87+ years of growth.

Commitment to Our Vision

Our company vision statement – Amazing people delivering the best print experiences – means we prioritize hiring and training the right people to work in each of our facilities.

We are committed to ongoing training for our team members, providing the right tools for each person to do their job and empowering each team member to help each other and our customers.

As a team, we work well across the entire company to deliver on-time, high-quality products and services again and again. By working together, we create memorable experiences for our customers that go above and beyond printing and distributing their latest project.

We often say our people make the difference, and it shows.

Walsworth’s Commitment to Safety

We believe all employees should leave work and return home to their families safe and healthy. Each facility has a dedicated safety team that works to establish effective safety standards and procedures and shares the latest equipment, training and practices with their colleagues. Our commitment is to create a work environment that leads to the Goal of Zero – a workplace with zero recordable and lost-time incidents.

Walsworth’s Commitment to Diversity

We believe a company, like a family, is made stronger when differences are embraced.

Walsworth’s Commitment to Sustainability

Walsworth holds certifications with the Sustainable Forestry Initiative® (SFI®) program and the Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) (FSC-C004755), and we are committed and adhere to our established chain of custody procedures. 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 continuously work on reducing emissions and improving sustainability at the production level. We’ve installed low-emission presses in our plants, as well as switched to more sustainable, vegetable oil-based ink that is eco-friendly and easier to recycle. Walsworth recycles nearly 30 million pounds of paper and fiber-based products annually.
