Brown’s Woodstock division is located in Woodstock, Illinois—about 1 hour from Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport and about 1 hour from Milwaukee’s Mitchell International Airport.
Formerly Graftek Press, this division was acquired in 1997 as part of Brown’s strategy to strengthen its position within the publications printing sector. Incorporated in 1967, Graftek Press began its operations in a remodeled horse barn in Cary, Illinois with a total of 6 employees.
Today, the Woodstock division of Brown Printing is housed in a 500,000 square-foot facility and employs more than 640 non- union employees. This location currently produces over 200 weekly, biweekly and monthly business and consumer publications, catalogs and commercial work with print runs that range from 20,000 to several million.
