While innovation, investment in new technology and creative partnerships have played important roles in Edwards Brothers' continued success, it is our people who have made the greatest contribution. Since our founding in 1893, thousands of men and women - even former President Gerald R. Ford during his University of Michigan collegiate career - have taken their place on the Edwards Brothers team.

As early as 1949, Edwards Brothers' leadership recognized that employees should benefit from the fruits of their labor, and initiated a company wide profit-sharing plan. Since then, Edwards Brothers employees have enjoyed twice yearly profit-sharing distributions totaling more than $13 million.

We are proud of our ability to attract and retain a talented and dedicated staff. In fact, over 40% of our more than 750 employees have been with us for nine or more years. Of that group, more than 100 have been part of our company for 20 years or longer. And there are dozens of families, and more than 300 family members, who have chosen to make their careers here.

Employee longevity provides a reliable, skilled and dedicated team of professionals working on your publication, which translates into tremendous quality and an impressive on-time record. It also speaks volumes about our company.

So does the fact that Edwards Brothers has been recognized both nationally and locally as an employer of distinction. From Best Workplace in America kudos for three consecutive years to industry and peer recognition for cutting edge workplace and community programs, Edwards Brothers is a dynamic workplace and a proud industry leader committed to your total satisfaction.
