Bramkamp celebrated its 85th Anniversary in 2006. For over eighty-five years, Bramkamp Printing has established a reputation as a superior resource for Offset Printing, Foil Stamping, Embossing, and Die Cutting in the Midwest.
The company was founded by William Bramkamp in 1921. In 1929, Sylvester A. Bramkamp, William's nephew, became President. In the early 60's, three partners purchased Bramkamp Printing Company: Frank Buschle, Tom Murray and Charles Kuchenbuch. They installed one of the first Heidelberg presses in Cincinnati, the Heidelberg Platen. The company also added foil stamping, embossing and die cutting equipment. Frank Buschle was president from 1960-1978 and Tom Murray from 1978-1995.
In 1995, Tom Murray's son, Kevin became president. A few years later Kevin and business partner, Larry Kuhlman, purchased the balance of the company. They made a commitment to the company's long-term growth and the expansion of services.
Their commitment to the expansion of services resulted in a need for more space. For more than 79 years, Bramkamp was located in downtown Cincinnati at 800 Sycamore Street. In June 2000, Murray and Kuhlman moved the company into a 20,000 sq. ft. building on Gray Road in Winton Place. Additionally, Bramkamp Printing expanded its prepress, commercial and digital printing services divisions. They added a 6-color Heidelberg Speedmaster to provide higher quality and faster turnaround. Services included full electronic prepress, commercial offset printing, print-on-demand, digital color printing, foil stamping, embossing, and die cutting.
As Bramkamp celebrates its 85th year in business, they have made a further commitment to growth by installing a new Heidelberg 6-color offset press with perfecting and coating capabilities. In the digital arena, they have added additional presses' to accommodate the ever growing variable-data technology. Kevin Murray, VP/CFO and Larry Kuhlman, president since July 2006 have made the resolution to growth by adding state-of-the-art technology, combined with superior printing, and excellent customer service into the formula for success.
