Knepper Press history
Knepper Press company history timeline
1873 The current Knepper Press was originally established in 1873 by Charles Knepper as The Mansfield Item, a small weekly newspaper located in the town of Mansfield, 6 miles from downtown Pittsburgh.
In 1906 Charles purchased the rival Chartiers Valley Signal.
By 1965, their linotypes and letterpresses were being eliminated as they purchased an offset newspaper web to produce the weekly paper also using offset printing technology.
In 1983, Bletcher-Anchor Printing was acquired, one of Pittsburgh’s larger letterpress shops in the 30’s and 40’s.
In 1984, a Didde half-size web press replaced the Chief 22 and the newspaper web.
In 1991, Ted Ford, a life-long friend of Bill’s, joined the company.
In 2005 sheet-fed capacity was once again increased by adding the region’s only 10 color 40” ManRoland perfector with not only sheet, but roll-fed capabilities.
In 2018, Knepper Press became part of a major art installation for the Carnegie International.
In 2019, our footprint expanded to Buffalo, New York, with the acquisition of two companies.
