About Kirkwood Printing

Kirkwood began in 1973, with a single press, printing technical manuals for Boston-area technology companies. Since 2004, under current ownership, the company has grown from a commercial printer to a full-service integrated communication provider. We have seen our revenue climb from $8.5 million to the current level of $75 million, which is rare, perhaps even unheard of, in the printing industry. To maximize collaboration among our divisions we have invested in our facilities, expanding our Wilmington Headquarters to over 80,000 square feet. We are a company on the move, but we never lost sight of the quality and service that define us. Our client-focused culture touches every part of the business. Kirkwood’s customer commitment is one thing that will never change, it makes us proud of our history, and confident in our future.
