About Us
Adair History
In 1931, Robert W. Adair established Adair Press on Wyoming Avenue in Detroit, Michigan beginning with the traditional moveable type systems. Adair Press was operated at this location until 1946, when it was relocated to Lyndon Street in Detroit, Michigan. In 1957, Adair Press opened an additional facility in Dexter, Michigan, which is still in use today.
In the late 1960s, management of the company was passed on to the next generation, Robert F. Adair, Jack Adair, and Lorraine (Adair) Govaere. Under their leadership, Adair Printing Company opened its Standish plant in 1975.
Adair has since grown and prospered to become one of Michigan's premier printing companies. The administrative offices, pre-press and electronic services, sales and customer service departments, digital services, sheet-fed operations and warehousing are all housed in the Dexter facility. The high volume web printing, binding and fulfillment operations are handled at our Standish plant. All departments at both locations communicate directly with each other throughout the production process, from estimating to final shipping to ensure the quality and service that we provide to all of our customers.
Adair offers a wide range of products and services centered around Publishing, Printing and Information Delivery. 2008 marks the 77th year of operation for Adair. Over the last 77 years Adair has expanded from basic printing to electronic pre-press, data management, new presses, digital printing, complete bindery services, fulfillment and warehousing.
As we move into the future, we are dedicated to providing complete publishing, printing and information delivery solutions to meet the changing needs of our clients.
