History

1949 It was a big year in the history of U.S. business and industry. An American-made gold missile blew up 250 miles above White Sands, New Mexico, the highest altitude ever achieved. A record number of cars -- 6,000,000,000 -- rolled off the assembly lines. The Lucky Lady II, completed the first nonstop flight around the world, refueling in the air four times.

Meanwhile, in St. Louis, another venture was being launched and, over the years, it has grown to become the Lawson Screen Products so many screenprinters have come to know and trust. Although we have not broken any altitude records or circumnavigated the globe, in our own way, the people of Lawson have achieved significant milestones. Perhaps the most important is that after decades manufacturing screenprinting equipment and delivering screenprinting materials and supplies, we are still here to serve out longtime customers, and we are stronger than ever. We are even better able to meet your needs, whether you have been a Lawson customer for years or are looking for a partner who will still be around next year and the year after. Our history is on your side.

Our industry is comprised of a wide range of screen-printing companies, from those employing only a few family members to those with hundreds of workers operating textile or graphics presses around the clock. Our job is to satisfy the needs of every screen printer we serve, no matter how large or small. We strive to provide all our customers with dependable, affordable equipment that fits with their printing requirements, along with materials and supplies of the highest quality, and technical support and service that are second to none.
