History
In 1887, John Franklin Westmoreland opened his first printing company in Thomasville, North Carolina. At this time, type was set by hand, much in the same way as when Johann Gutenberg first employed moveable type. From these humble beginnings in a room in his brother's chair factory, J.F. Westmoreland began a heritage of craftsmanship and service to businesses and individuals throughout the Carolinas and beyond, that has continued for well over a century. Since opening in 1999, Westmoreland has grown from a single employee to more than 10 full and part-time employees, and has acquired the best of three printing companies. Much has changed in the printing industry since J.F. Westmoreland opened in 1887. The modern printing facility in Shelby is one that would be difficult to recognize by the early generations of Westmoreland printers. What has not changed for over a century is the commitment to the clients which each generation of this family has served.
