Victor Lundeen Company

What Victor Lundeen Company does

Victor Lundeen Company is a privately held, family-owned printing and retail business founded in 1914 and headquartered in a three-story building at 126 West Lincoln Avenue in downtown Fergus Falls, Minnesota. The company operates two intertwined business lines: a commercial print shop producing custom and stock business forms, checks, scale tickets, warehouse receipts, grain contracts, township forms, and bulk fuel/propane delivery tickets, and a retail operation selling office supplies, office furniture, books, greeting cards, and gifts. Its core technology stack comprises conventional offset and digital printing with in-house typesetting, proofing, and direct shipping, supplemented by an artwork-submission workflow accepting Adobe Creative Suite 6, PDF, and CorelDRAW files.

The company's customer base is concentrated in three primary B2B verticals in the upper Midwest — grain elevators and agri-businesses, Minnesota township governments, and bulk fuel and propane companies — with retail consumers in Otter Tail County serving as a secondary segment. Victor Lundeen differentiates through domain-specialized forms engineered for specific industry hardware (Epson, Rice Lake, Fargo, Toledo, Weightronix electronic scales; CTAS accounting software for townships) and for compliance with state, federal, and grain-industry regulations. Sales occur via direct phone, email, website estimate requests, and field sales representatives covering Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Montana, with national reach for custom and stock forms and online retail reach via Bookshop.org and Libro.fm.

Revenue is generated primarily through quote-based one-time purchases of custom and stock forms, supplemented by transactional sales of office supplies, office furniture (HON, OfficeMaster, Alera), and bookstore/retail items. The company is currently operated by the founder's son and grandson, with no external investors, no parent company, and no disclosed M&A activity. All processes from typesetting through shipping remain in-house, and a no-risk reprint guarantee backs customer orders.
