Our History

Dating back a century, our humble story began in 1921, with the founding of the Bramkamp Printing Company. Started by Sylvester Bramkamp, we rapidly established ourselves as an industry leader when we installed one of the first Heidelberg presses in Cincinnati (see right image). Setting a long-lasting precedent, we became known not only as an early adopter of printing innovations, but for our exceptional quality and customer service as well – qualities that continue to distinguish us over 100 years later. The vision for Graphic Village originated in the early 2000s with owners Kuhlman, Murray, Jeff Hudepohl and Bob Smith, who understood that it can take a village to provide exceptional service in order to bring a brand to life. The concept was formalized in 2013 shortly after Eric Kahn, the current Executive Chairman, purchased the company and renamed it Graphic Village. Today, after a series of strategic acquisitions and organic growth, we are the largest independent print marketing solutions provider in the Greater Cincinnati region. The company has now expanded to 225+ talented employees, and has four operating locations throughout the Midwest.
