About Us
Founded in 1863, The Kingswood Press has been owned and operated by the Swaffield family since 1948 when Gordon "Bud" Swaffield purchased the business. Bud ran the company for 36 years before his son and wife, William and Rebecca, both already working full-time in the business, took it over in 1984.
The Swaffield family's philosophy for over 70 years has been to offer the highest level of quality and service at reasonable prices and to always deliver on time. Quality means attention to details from prepress to bindery. Excellent service comes from the personal interaction between client and staff throughout the entire process.
