Total Printing Systems, a family owned business that was established in 1973 by Rich and Wendy Lindemann, is proud of our history. Originally founded to provide commercial printing, Total Printing Systems rapidly expanded to include governmental publications in the mid 1970s. We utilize and greatly benefit from having a rural community workforce comprised of dedicated employees and driven by a strong mid-western work ethic that ensures a quality product.
We have 45 full-time employees and an average length of employment of 16 years. We are committed to pushing technology further, utilizing the strengths of that technology and combining those strengths with decades of experience in the book manufacturing industry. The result of this combination of technology and experience has brought Total Printing Systems to the forefront of the book manufacturing industry.
1973 - The company was established by Rich and Wendy Lindemann as a general commercial printer. 1977 - We saw the need to develop a niche to be successful, so we began a relationship with the Federal Government Printing Office producing forms, short run books and manuals.
