Flower City Printing — Going Above and Beyond

“RIT has been an invaluable resource for us over the years. We have many graduates who work here, and many co-op students have passed through on their way to careers in the industry,” Ashworth points out. “RIT also has an excellent testing lab that we use in our non-conformance investigations.”

Based in Rochester—also known as the “Flower City”—since 1970, the company was founded by five partners and transitioned from a trade-like shop to a commercial printer in just six months time. In 1991, when a client needed litho labels printed, the company purchased its first large-format press, a 55˝ Planeta, which paved its way into the large-format segment.
