Brian Dowling founded CL&D Graphics in 1978 with just a single press in a small shop in Waukesha, and a few dedicated professionals. He had a clear vision of becoming a world-class flexographic printing company that provides ongoing growth and security for all associates. Today Mike Dowling and Laureen Mair carry on Brian’s tradition with three divisions, 15 presses over 250 employees.

The quaint Wisconsin town of Oconomowoc has been home to CL&D Graphic’s headquarters for years. In nearby Hartland, WI, CL&D Digital was founded in 1995 to fill the sales and marketing needs of our customers. CL&D Digital is able to bring new products to market fast. Yet a third production facility was established in 1999 in Rock Hill, South Carolina to better serve national accounts.

Despite our continued growth, we have been cautious to stay small enough to care about our people and customers. We believe we have the best collection of associates at CL&D and are proud of the way we do business. We continually challenge ourselves to look at what we do through our customer’s eyes. It’s a practice that has stayed with the company since Brian Dowling founded CL&D, and one that will continue on for years to come.
