Show Us Your HEIDELBERG: Grit Printing

Grit was founded in 1882 by Rev. Henry R. Wolf, Jr. who published a weekly, one-color, four-page broadsheet called the Daily Sun and Banner. In 1884, Dietrick Lamade bought the company and renamed it Grit. As the newspaper grew from 1,500 to over 200,000 readers, it was able to acquire a new building along Third Street in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. From there it continued to expand and grow, building on the philosophy that readers were more important than advertisers and that providing the latest and best machines to its workers would allow it to be the most efficient newspaper in the country.

Commercial printing was added to the Grit Publishing Company’s successful newspaper in the early 1900’s. As the commercial printing business grew, so did the company’s size. A second building was added to the Grit site in 1906 to house all the Job Department and mechanical needs. Grit Commercial Printing was purchased by a local partnership and today is a family owned and operated printing business located in Montoursville, Pennsylvania.

Grit proudly houses top-of-the-line HEIDELBERG equipment, showcasing their commitment to high-quality printing. The Grit team stands proudly on the HEIDELBERG CD74 press, capable of printing sheets up to 23”x 29” and features a built-in coater.

To enhance customization, Grit utilizes a HEIDELBERG die-cutter. Completing their impressive lineup are two HEIDELBERG folders, adding versatility to their capabilities. With this steadfast equipment, Grit stands ready to meet and exceed printing demands with expertise and efficiency.
