Our Parent Company
Schmidt is a wholly owned subsidiary of Minnesota-based Taylor Corporation, one of the top ten graphic communications companies in North America. We are fortunate to enjoy the benefits of being autonomous while thriving on the strength of a large corporation.
Our relationship with Taylor Corporation enables us to provide our customers with compelling pricing from paper to freight through the purchasing power inherent with a large printing and marketing conglomerate. In addition, our sibling companies expand our value-added print solutions to include an innovative array of products and services that generate results and state-of-the-art technology.
