Dear Prospective Customer,

When constructing this web page, I was asked to write a message stating why
a publisher should print with Cummings Printing versus a competitor. I would
begin by acknowledging that most printing companies at this level have
pretty much the same machinery, and if a job comes in requiring capabilities not in house, we all use viable outside vendors.

There are two main areas where I believe Cummings does rise above our
competition:

The first being our ability to consistently print a quality product in a timely manner at a fair price. Our strict adherence to ISO 9000 methodologies (the internationally recognized quality system) with regard to the operation of our plant gives Cummings Printing this edge.

The second is our response to problems. There are very few projects that go off without a hitch, no matter which printer you use. The difference is the way they respond to and solve those challenges. A client can call their CSR
(Customer Service Representative) or anyone including the president anytime
to get an answer to whatever question they may have. This is not lipservice... this is the truth, as any current customer of Cummings Printing can attest.

I invite you to visit our newly constructed facility in Hooksett, NH and see what Cummings Printing can do for you.

Jack Cummings Bio
Owner
New Hampshire

I am the youngest of 5 brothers and I knew from the beginning that printing would be my vocation, while sports has always been my passion.

I started my career at Cummings Printing by working after school and summers, backing through the production process. I drove the truck, worked in the mailing department, bindery and the pressroom. After graduating from college, I took a job in the typesetting department, and from there, worked my way to sales. It was in sales that I saw the potential for Cummings Printing to become more than just a local sheet-fed printer.

Today, I am the president of a company that competes on a national level in the production of magazines and catalogs. I am also the father of two young sons, who keep me busy especially with coaching all their sports teams.

Mark Hamel
Chief Operating Officer
New Hampshire

I have been employed at Cummings Printing for over 20 years. In that time I have seen Cummings make major technological steps to strengthen our competitive edge in short- to medium-run magazine, catalog and directory printing.

We at Cummings work with our customer to produce the best product in a timely fashion and at a competitive price.

Norma Shea
Chief Financial Officer
New Hampshire

My expertise includes over 25 years in the printing industry as an Accounting Manager. I have been involved with all accounting, finance and human resource functions and take pride in the professionalism of our accounting staff. Cummings' dedication to promoting a positive working environment is evident in the way all employees take responsibility for producing a quality product for their customers.

I am a native of the New England area and together with my husband have five grown children and three grandchildren. I am an avid golfer and enjoy spending time at the coast for relaxation.

John Foss
Sales Manager

I've been with Cummings Printing since 1990. Prior to that I worked for a company who sold services to Cummings and I was impressed by the way Cummings did business so I interviewed as a sales person. I'm proud to be the Sales Manager at Cummings Printing. During my time here the printing industry has changed dramatically. One of the most impressive aspects of our company is our commitment and ability to adapt and thrive in this quickly changing environment.

On a personal level, I graduated from University of New Hampshire in 1987 where I met my wife Elizabeth. We live in nearby Manchester NH with our three children. Most of our time is spent with their various activities including athletics, orchestra and loud guitar playing. In my spare time I enjoy music and attempting to stay young by taking part in various sports.

Welcome to Cummings Printing Company!

When I am not selling printing for Cummings Printing Company I take advantage of the many outdoor activities available in the northeast; during my free time I enjoy running, skiing, hiking, or just relaxing with my family.

Thank you for taking the time to visit our web site and I look forward to the opportunity to work together on your next print project!

I have been married to my wife Lin for 36 years. We have a son, daughter and son-in-law. Our pride and joy is our grandson A J. In my spare time I enjoy playing music in an oldies band, 60's, 70's and 80's music. I have also been known to dabble in politics. When time permits I play a little golf and do some camping.

My printing experience spans 34 years, the last 2 with Cummings Printing. I've enjoyed my time at Cummings because of the great staff and their commitment to technology and their clients.

Thanks for stopping by our web site.

Chris Philippy
Plant Manager

I have been employed at Cummings Printing since 1984, but have been around the company since I was a boy. My father was the foreman of the old Typesetting Dept. and worked at Cummings for nearly 40 years. I would often accompany my father when he would come to "The Shop". I have seen a great number of changes; lead type, paper tape, VIP's, electronic prepress, and finally, CTP. Through it all, one thing has remained the same, Cummings' commitment to stay on the cutting edge of technology.

Personally, my wife (Pam) and I have been married for 13 years and have a beautiful 3 year old daughter (Mackenzie) along with 3 dogs, 1 cat, and 2 horses. In my spare time I enjoy playing golf, hiking, camping and/or any outdoor activity with family and friends. Thank you for visiting our web site. I hope we can be your printer for your next project.

Dan Trudel
Assistant Plant Manager

For the past 26 years, I’ve been employed by Cummings Printing working my way up from press helper to Pressroom Foreman/Assistant Plant Manager. I am proud to have been part of the acquisition team that has brought the most state of the art equipment to our pressroom. I am equally as proud of the experienced staff that I now manage.

Personally, I have been married to my wife Susan for 26 years and we have two children, both of whom are currently in college. When we are not tending to their needs, we love sports, hiking and travel.

Jeff Paquette
Prepress Manager

I'm a second generation printer having worked in the commercial print market for 15 years before joining the Cummings Printing team in 1998. In 1985 I earned a degree in Graphic Arts from NH Vocational Technical College.

Staying at the forefront of technology has been our goal over the past 10 years. As the prepress aspect of print becomes more streamlined, you can rest-assured that you will have a technical resource here to help when you need it. Clients can always gain direct access to prepress by way of our technical support hotline, or our technical support E-mail system. It's a pleasure for me to manage a staff of prepress professionals who provide this level of service every day.

When I'm not working, I enjoy spending time with my two teenage boys in a variety of outdoor activities, such as camping and kayaking. Thank you for your time and I look forward to working with you on your next print project.

Jeff Baines
Postpress Manager
New Hampshire

I began my career with Cummings Printing Company in 1992 as a press helper on second shift. From there, I have held many positions such as Head Pressman, Second Shift Plant Manager and currently Postpress Manager. Cummings Printing has grown rapidly during my time here but our commitment to the customer is still our number one priority.

I like to relax at home during my free time with my beautiful wife Lorrie and our daughter Ashley. Also, I am a passionate New England sports fan and enjoy traveling as much as possible.

Sue Orr
Customer Service Manager

In 1986 I began my career at Cummings Printing Company in the proofreading department. My previous employer was a small graphic design firm, and it was almost unbelievable to me that the employees had been here for so long, decades in fact. The staff is loyal and once hired, usually stay with the company until retirement!!

Now, in my 22nd year at Cummings, I realize why. Cummings is a family run business that treats their employees and their clients …like part of the family!

We're a close-knit bunch, and I'm extremely proud of the great staff of representatives in our Customer Service department! I believe that customer service, good customer service, is one of the most important aspects of a successful business.

On a personal note, I have been married for 21 years, we have two boys, and in my free time when not being a "soccer Mom", I enjoy pilates, music (I'm trying to teach myself to play the acoustic guitar), painting, and the outdoors.
