History

Taylor Corporation was founded in 1975 by Glen Taylor when he purchased Carlson Wedding Service located in North Mankato, Minnesota. Bill Carlson, the previous owner, had decided to sell the company in preparation for retirement.[3] Taylor had worked for and alongside Carlson since 1959.[4]

Taylor Corporation began in 1975 with Carlson Craft as its first holding.[5] Carlson Craft has become Taylor’s largest company and is the leading wholesale printing company in the U.S.[6]

In June 2015, it was announced that Taylor Corporation would be acquiring Standard Register, now known as Taylor Communications, for a reported $307 million. [7]

In 2016, Deb Taylor was appointed to serve as the chief executive officer of Taylor Corporation, with Glen Taylor remaining active in the company as its chairman. [8]

In 2019, Deb Taylor stepped down and Glen Taylor reassumed the role of CEO until appointing Charlie Whitaker as the chief executive officer in 2020.[9] Glen Taylor remains chairman of the company.
