American Printing Co.

American Printing Co. (APC) is a printer headquartered in a 110,000-square-foot plant at 428 Industrial Lane in Birmingham's Oxmoor neighborhood. The cover offers a range of pre-press, printing, and finishing services and also direct mail and fulfillment. The president and CEO is Bo Stanford.

American Printing began as a small print shop in 1912, serving local Birmingham merchants and grew slowly from there. For a time it was located at 121 12th Street South in the Five Points South neighborhood. In 1992, Stanford purchased the business and began initiatives to expand it further, which included relocation in 1997 to the company's current location, which has been expanded at least twice since the move. The company also began offering new services, like direct mail. As a result, APC grew from 18 employees to 120, operating 24 hours a day, six days a week.
