Our Story

Courier Printing of Allen County, located in the center of Grabill, is a collaboration between Stan Gerig and Barry Cleven. Courier Printing began as a one-man printshop in 1949, founded by Dee Steininger. The Cedar Creek Courier, a bi-weekly newspaper, began publishing shortly after its inception.

Waldo Dick joined the team in 1955, and a second bi-weekly newspaper, The Woodburn Booster, was shortly created. Letterpress and a few tiny offset presses served the demands of the local population at the time.

The two weekly newspapers were merged in 1976 to form the present weekly edition, the East Allen Courier. A 25" offset press was also erected to help with the production of The Silver Lining, the Apostolic Church's monthly newspaper.

Charles Dick relocated from Western Canada in 1984 and quickly acquired a controlling stake in the company. During this time, the printing business was expanded with the purchase of a high-quality German offset press and some additional finishing equipment. To meet the rising business, 3200 square feet were added in 1998.

Stan Gerig and Barry Cleven are now partners in leading the team at Courier Printing.

We are now embracing future longevity as a team at Courier.
