Bartash Printing — From the Ground Up

Bartash Printing, one of the largest cold web printing companies in the Philadelphia region, was started 55 years ago by Bartash to print his weekly newspaper, the Southwest Globe Times. In 1962, Joe’s son-in-law, Sidney Simon, joined the company. During the next 45 years, Simon and his son, Michael, built the business from a single-press operation, located in a 10,000-square-foot rowhome, to a five press-line operation in a 100,000-square-foot facility.
