Our History
Mitchell Graphics’ presses began rolling in March of 1972. Founded by brothers Bill and Andy Fedus, Mitchell Graphics was quickly recognized as a quality four color printer in northern Michigan.
In 1981 Mitchell Graphics began selling postcards nationally through a dealer network and then moved to a direct selling approach in 1984. This direct sales approach proved to be the most effective way to reach potential customers and Mitchell Graphics’ customer base began to grow quickly.
With the art market (artists, art galleries, museums, etc.) being an early adopter of using direct mail postcards, Mitchell Graphics endeavored to continually improve its processes and quality of color reproduction. This commitment to the highest standards of quality is still a hallmark today.
In recent years, Mitchell Graphics has transitioned from selling only products – postcards and other printed materials – to become a full-service provider offering creative, offset and digital printing, on-site direct mail, and several integrated media options. It is Mitchell Graphics’ mission of “dedicated people working together to provide superior products and services for our customers’ success” that has been the catalyst behind the continued expansion of its diverse capabilities.
In April 2014, Mitchell Graphics acquired Progress Printers of Traverse City. Progress Printers began as a local newspaper in Elk Rapids, Michigan, in 1865. The first issue of The Elk Rapids Progress reported the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. In the early 1980’s the newspaper was phased out while the new focus of the company, now called Progress Printers, became commercial printing. In 1982, Jim Novak purchased Progress Printers and operated in Elk Rapids until 1987, when he moved the business to its current location in Traverse City. Progress Printers, a division of Mitchell Graphics, offers similar expertise and service. Their family-owned, customer-oriented operation meshed well with Mitchell Graphics mission and vision.
A commitment to our customers – their needs, goals, and expectations – is why we do what we do. Mitchell Graphics is focused on helping people. And it is the people of Mitchell Graphics that you will find, for many years to come, offering solutions to help you succeed.
The Mitchell Graphics Pledge:
- We will do what we say we will do.
- We provide superior customer service & support.
- We will provide confidence & peace of mind.
