In 1948, Henry Schiele opened a small print shop in an old barbershop. With two small presses, a desk and a phone, Henry began the modest enterprise that would eventually grow into the integration of 8 companies that make up the Schiele Group. The values by which Henry lived are still what guide us today. They include hard work, personalized service and a drive to always do our best. These values have helped the Schiele Group grow into one of the largest printers in the Chicago area. Today, the Schiele Group is a multi-plant enterprise that produces close to a billion pieces of printed materials a year. But no matter how big we get, we'll never forget this simple essential fact: the power of our work isn't just a warehouse full of completed projects — it's in the heart and soul of each piece we produce. It's the business card that initiates a decades-long relationship. It's the brochure that helps a prospect see your product in different prospective. It's the direct mail coupon that's redeemed by a new customer. It's the impression you make that is the source of our greatest pride because the impact of our work occurs one-to-one, between a single printed piece and a single reader, our attention and passionate devotion to quality is second to none.
