About This Company
The P.A. Hutchison Company is a book manufacturer and commercial printing business producing books in any quantity and size. Its services cover prepress, printing, binding and distribution. Prepress personnel handle customer prepress requirements, while press operations support book manufacturing. Binding capabilities include several perfect binding machines, saddle stitch binding and other mechanical bindery options. The business produces textbooks and educational materials for the publishing market, and provides sample-kit and pricing requests for prospective print buyers.
Founded in 1911 as a black-and-white letterpress shop, the business developed into a mid-sized book manufacturer and printing company serving customers throughout the United States. Four generations of the Hutchison family guided its growth. In 2024, GV Group acquired a majority stake in the company as part of its expansion into the American educational publishing market. The Pennsylvania plant was producing 50 million books, with planned capacity growth supported by investment in four-color web printing technology. The company has received recognition through the Printing Impressions Top 200 Rankings and as an Inc.com Honoree.
