Warwick Publishing (asi/95280) will observe its 100th anniversary in 2026, highlighting a century of producing calendars, folders, greeting cards and other promotional paper goods in the United States.
Warwick Publishing (asi/95280) is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year.
The company got its start in 1903, when journalist Lina Paschal bought The Valley Chronicle newspaper from her brother-in-law. Then, in 1926, she sold the paper to her nephew Paul Paschal. Paul and co-owner Lester Norris branched into printed media and promotional products. Now a fifth-generation family-owned operation, Warwick still manufactures its paper-based promo at its St. Charles, IL-based facility.
Since 1926, Warwick has printed more than 100 million newspapers and over 20 million calendars, according to CEO Alex Paschal. Plus, he added, more than 4,000 employees have called Warwick home, and the supplier has served hundreds of thousands of customers.
The company plans to mark its centennial throughout 2026 with product releases and storytelling content tied to its heritage and ongoing U.S. production. Warwick said it continues to emphasize American manufacturing and simplified pricing for its promotional offerings.
Warwick’s leadership noted that paper promotional products remain a core part of many branding strategies, citing their physical presence and durability in customer engagements.
“Printed paper still works,” Paschal said. “It’s personal, tactile and timeless. And when done well, it becomes a piece of your client’s brand that sticks around long after the first impression.”
In recent years, Warwick has taken steps toward sustainability, earning Forest Stewardship Council chain-of-custody certification for responsibly sourced materials and partnering with local recycling operations to manage manufacturing waste.
Industry recognition has also accompanied the company’s longevity. Warwick was named Counselor’s Supplier Family Business of the Year in 2021, reflecting its achievements as a multigeneration family company.
