About Quality Forms
Dorrell S. Polhamus who started a printing service in his home in 1948, and Joel T. Phillips, a former employee of Little Printing Company, joined Russell K. Little as owners in 1953 and acquired full ownership after Russell K. Little's death in 1954.
Purchase of Bivens Printing Company, East Water Street, Piqua, Ohio, was made in 1955 and renamed Piqua Printing Company. Both shops were operated separately until 1961 when a new building was built at 4317 West U.S. 36, Piqua, Ohio where the operations were merged and was known as Piqua Printing Company.
Entering the business forms manufacturing field in 1965, the name Quality Forms was given to the new area of business. Growth necessitated several building expansions to house additional equipment. From the original 1961 building of 3,200 square feet, the factory and office now equal 56,000 square feet.
In the fall of 2006 Thomas E. Kinnison and L.J. Bertke, two employees with the company for over 25 years, purchased the business. Computer to plate and a new state-of-the art digital imaging press was purchased in 2008. The digital imaging press uses industry-leading laser imaging and chemistry-free thermal plate technology that delivers extremely high quality four-color offset printing.
