About Lawson

Lawson was founded in 1949, as Gene Landesman invented the first "Powered Squeegee", an automated flat-bed graphic/screen printing press to print decals and labels.

The people of Lawson have achieved significant milestones since 1949. Perhaps the most important is that after decades of pioneering the automated press and developing energy-efficient drying systems, and delivering screen printing materials and supplies, we are still here to serve our longtime customers, and we are stronger than ever. Lawson is a company of people who care, and that's why Lawson offers "Peace of Mind" with every purchase!

An industry as volatile as screenprinting, survival and success depend on service. 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. We believe this combination of technological capabilities and superior service creates values our customers can appreciate.

Value Through Technology
In screen-printing equipment, one size definitely does not fit all. So, at Lawson, we build prepress equipment, textile and graphics presses, and textile and graphics dryers that fit well in any size shop. Our presses range from manual to fully automatic to meet the required volume demands of every printer, and we manufacture a full line of I.R., U.V., jet-air, gas, and combo dryers. In addition, we provide digital-imaging equipment and a complete range of screen and digital supplies. In short, we stay abreast of technological advances in the industry to provide our customers with the most efficient solution to their printing challenge.

Value Through Technical Support
Lawson offers technical support on Lawson manufactured equipment, ink, emulsion and supplies used in the screen printing industry. Lawson also maintains a 24-hour screenprinting support hot-line to answer any critical questions outside of our standard hours.

 

Value Through Service
Besides Lawson's headquarters in St. Louis, we also operate a Super Center in Atlanta, Georgia and sales offices in Birmingham, Alabama and Boston, Mass. From these strategic locations, we can deliver equipment, tools and supplies quickly, efficiently and economically throughout the U.S. Although we welcome phone, fax and e-mail communications from our customers, we also can make site visits to help make sure you are getting the most out of your Lawson purchase.
