Our Proud History. Brunner, Inc., was founded by Francis J. Brunner in 1930, and was incorporated in 1932. The firm had two employees. During its first 19 years the company grew, slowly but steadily, as a job printer, until 1949. That same year Mr. Brunner decided to offer creative design services directly to his customer. The company was fast becoming known as a “creative printer”. One interesting fact is that a bicycle was used for several years as Brunner’s free pick up and delivery service. Today, we continue that personal touch of customer service as we grow to become one of the oldest printers in Memphis. And yes, pick up and delivery is still free. Francis Brunner knew there was a market in the area for a printer offering creative design services. He hired a freelance artist and began preparing layouts, initially just for letterheads, submitting these as a sales aid when calling on a customer or prospect. Each design sold opened the door for new business, since it was used on statements, envelopes, business cards and other materials. As the result of a monthly mailing, his business grew tremendously and had to hire extra employees to produce the jobs. This was followed by a thrust into the product sheet and promotional materials area. A series of self-mailers and advertising pieces was developed for clients and it was a tremendous success. Brunner was off and running. In 1962, the company moved to its current location. We now offer a full staff of salespeople, graphic artists, and a production crew with over 100 years of combined experience. Our founder's creative touch and seven-pronged sales approach has evolved into today's creative planning, electronic pre-press, skilled presswork, bindery, color copies, in-house screen printing, and assorted advertising specialty items–all from one source and all geared to providing customers with the ultimate in printing services.
