A/E Graphics | Epic Color, Brookfield, Wis. has acquired B&L Graphic Solutions, Jackson, Wis. Over 15 years, B&L Graphic Solutions, led by Joe Bremberger, has built a great reputation in Washington County and surrounding areas with a foundation of local service. This will continue for years to come with the same company name people have been familiar with.

Tom Taubenheim, president of A/E Graphics said, “The acquisition of B&L Graphic Solutions will provide A/E Graphics & Epic Color further growth and diversification by expanding into new markets. Added services include corrugated printing and prototyping for retail displays, high volume yard signs, banner and poster printing, and small format color printing including custom business cards and envelopes along with complete fulfillment services.”

“B&L clients will now have added services like wall/window/floor graphics design, printing and installation, environmental branding, and color plan printing,” continued Taubenheim.

A/E Graphics was originally founded in Brookfield as a division of Green Bay Blue Print Company, which goes back nearly a century. In 1987, the company moved into its newly built location on North 124th Street, which is the corporate headquarters today. In 1999 a branch was opened in Milwaukee’s third ward, on Milwaukee Street, later expanding twice due to growth.

Epic Color was opened in 2009 because of the growing demand for custom signs and displays. The company’s plan – do it better, faster and “be Epic.”

The ownership of A/E Graphics | Epic Color is comprised of Dan Schmidt, Joe Shaw, Tim Davis, and Tom Taubenheim. The company has been voted Wisconsin’s #1 top printing supplier by readers of The Daily Reporter.
