Our History
From humble beginnings in 1970 as a two-color printing operation, Lake County Press (LCP) is a multi-generational business, proudly owned and operated by the Johnson family.
With a printing business lineage traceable back to 1876, LCP visionary Ralph Johnson Jr’s (1930-2019) mission was to build a company that led the industry in providing our customers with top-quality printed products and services.
Over the years, as the world changed, we did too by developing our ever-evolving capabilities and service offerings to meet the growing needs and business requirements of the customers we serve.
Leadership Today
Today, under the leadership of Ralph’s son Tom, and our executive team, LCP is a single source solution, full-service marketing services provider, offering a wide variety of best-in-class services, including:
Our Employees
Our employees are without equal in their industry knowledge and experience, and it shows in the pride they take in serving our customers. Many of them have been with us for many years and some, even decades.
By having all our production and service operations under one roof (across three buildings), we maintain strict control over the quality, efficiency, and timeliness of our work.
LCP harnesses the best of today’s equipment and technology to produce stunningly beautiful, printed material, and other related services.
Long-term Partners
We are proud of the long-term partnerships we have developed with our customers over the years. Our team takes the time to get to know their businesses, so we can always meet their specific needs, both today and in the future. It is a privilege to be their Brand Stewards.
Sustainability is also always a top priority at LCP, and we have a long track record of embracing the latest innovations in environmentally conscious business practices.
