GMA Member News: Brothers Printing Begins an Exciting New Chapter
Brothers Printing is Growing!
Stronger Capabilities, Same Team You Trust
Dear Customers & Friends,
We’re writing to share an important and exciting update about Brothers Printing.
After more than a century of serving customers—and decades of stewardship by the Kaufman Family—we are entering our next chapter. Brothers Printing is merging with Foote Printing, a respected Cleveland-based, family-owned union printing company that shares our commitment to quality, service, and long-term customer relationships.
Together, we will operate as Foote Brothers Printing.
Most importantly, the people and relationships you rely on are not changing. Your contacts remain the same, and the entire Brothers Printing team—including Jay, David, Bessie, Tom, Frank, Anne and the rest of the Brothers family—will continue serving you as part of the combined company.
Here’s what this means for you:
- No disruption: Phone numbers, email addresses, and day-to-day processes remain unchanged.
• Expanded capabilities: The combined strengths of both companies mean greater capacity, enhanced services, and broader production capabilities.
• A stronger long-term partner: This merger positions us to continue investing in our people, technology, and customer experience for years to come.
Also, to better serve our customers, we are bringing our operations together effective October 1, 2026, at our expanded production facility at 2800 E. 55th Street in Cleveland. This consolidation creates a more efficient workflow while preserving the quality, responsiveness and personalized service you've always relied on. The new facility has parking available on the premises.
As part of this change, the 2000 Euclid Avenue location will close, and our business will focus exclusively on commercial printing and related services, with retail copy services and Saturday hours no longer available.
This is a strategic step forward—bringing together two Cleveland-rooted companies with shared values, skilled union craftsmanship, and a commitment to preserving jobs and serving customers the right way.
Bottom line: the same people and service you trust, now backed by expanded resources and capabilities. Please feel free to reach out to us with any questions.
We are grateful for your partnership and look forward to serving you in this next chapter.
Sincerely,
Jay & David Kaufman
Brothers Printing
Soon to be...
Jay & David Kaufman
Foote Brothers Printing
