HISTORY
Founded by Peter P. Cappas in 1963, United Engravers has strong roots in the Chicagoland corrugated market.  By 1990, we settled into our current headquarters in Schaumburg, IL, after outgrowing a series of smaller locations.  Additional expansion in 2006 sent our front office into an adjoining building, and made room for larger equipment in production. We operate a satellite art studio in Michigan, and have team members on-site as needed across the United States.

Today, United Engravers is led by President Peter C. Cappas and Vice-President Terry Cappas. The Cappas family’s philosophy of continuous improvement has made us an industry leader; United Engravers is a small company with a big reputation as an innovator in corrugated printing plate manufacturing.
