The now, father and son owned company, began in Torrance in 1926 at 1316 Cabrillo Avenue. Bill Libbrecht worked as a pressman at Automatic Printing Co. in 1955 and watched a few changes in ownership and then found himself in the full ownership position in 1985. Ron Libbrecht completed his degrees in the Fine Arts and found himself employed at Automatic Printing Co. in 1981. In August of 1997 the business moved from Torrance to Gardena and back to a new location in Torrance in May of 2002. The old school printing, new technology, graphic design and fine arts have combined to share business and artistic experiences with their customers and the community.
