Premier Printing

What Premier Printing does

Premier Printing Corporation is a privately held, family-owned commercial printing company headquartered in Warrensville Heights, Ohio, founded in 1974 by Jerry Trombo and now led by his son Jim Trombo as President. The company operates from a 25,000 sq. ft. facility in Northeast Ohio and runs two Heidelberg offset presses alongside high-resolution digital and large-format equipment. It produces catalogs, brochures, publications, newsletters, posters, labels, and specialty items for customers in more than 15 U.S. states, serving verticals including manufacturing, publishing, education, non-profit, medical, food, communications, automotive, and insurance.

The company offers an integrated production workflow spanning graphic design, pre-press, offset printing, digital printing, large-format printing, bindery and finishing, fulfillment, warehousing, mailing, and Cross Media Solutions that publishes print pieces online with embedded multimedia. Core technology centers on Heidelberg offset presses paired with pre-press software and hardware; the company highlights FDA-compliant inks and substrates and FSC-certified papers as technical differentiators. Named craft specialists (a 30-year bindery veteran, a proofreading expert, and a master Heidelberg pressman) are publicly featured, signaling that artisanal labor is positioned as a competitive asset rather than automated production.

Commercially, Premier Printing operates a quote-based, sales-led model with no disclosed pricing, serving customers through phone (toll-free and local lines), email directly to owners, and an online quote-request form. Named accounts include Subway Restaurants (enterprise), General Electric (historical anchor, 4M+ piece order), and SMB clients such as Phelan and Associates and Will Cheshier Design. No external investors, parent companies, M&A activity, or funding rounds are disclosed, and revenue figures are not publicly available.

Broad incumbents

• HH Global: Global print procurement and marketing services company (includes InnerWorkings) managing print spend for large enterprise clients.

• Cimpress (Vistaprint): Mass-market commercial printing platform owning Vistaprint and several production-focused businesses, serving SMB and enterprise customers with broad printing product portfolio. Broader incumbent in commercial printing—Premier competes with its national scale, but Cimpress operates a much wider portfolio at a different pricing/positioning.
