Bingham Flexo Services, a trusted solutions partner in the flexographic and corrugated industry, is proud and excited to announce that this year marks its 35th Anniversary of service within the industry.
Bingham Flexo Services was founded by Ed and John Bingham in 1991 in Illinois, representing Ceramco/Printech, NationalRollKote, Flexo Concepts and S&B Anilox Cleaning Systems. After several years, the family team grew to include Mike Poppin in 1996 who joined as a technical sales team member to help expand Bingham’s service reach and capacity. In 1997, Bingham began its partnership with Pamarco anilox rolls to provide sales, customer service, and technical support in the Midwest. The Bingham team then worked out of Pamarco’s Batavia, Illinois manufacturing facility, with Brian Reichardt joining the team later that year to add additional sales coverage. One year later, Denise Harris and Marcie Rackmyer joined the team to build the customer service team and support sales. Facilitating both internal and external support that was necessary for Bingham’s continued growth.
Enter the 21st century, and expansion continues as Shane Weber and Tracie Gilbert joined the Bingham team in 2006 to further sales, customer service and territory coverage. In 2008, Bingham Flexo Services entered into a sales agency agreement with Graymills, allowing the team to sell and support the service of Graymills Flexo ink pump & filtration systems across the Midwest.
In 2017, a massive portfolio expansion took place with the addition of Grafikontrol, Gama Group, and PSP entering into a sales agreement with Bingham. This expansion added plate registration control & inspection, viscosity ph control, and corrugated bundle strapping & equipment to Bingham’s product offerings. Two years later, Dan Dietrich joined the team in a technical sales role to cover the Illinois, Indiana and Michigan territories.
After many years of dedication and loyal service to the Bingham team, Brian Reichardt and Tracie Gilbert retired in 2021 with the sincere thanks of the entire company for their respective years of service and support. That same year they welcomed Kirstin Kettle who joined the team in an accounting role, and a year later they welcomed Catherine Canene, who joined to expand customer service coverage.
In 2023, Bingham welcomed Ben Hebel to their technical sales team, responsible for the territories of Wisconsin and Minnesota. This team expansion was also paired with a physical company expansion as Bingham Flexo established an independent office and warehouse in West Chicago to expand consumables and parts supply.
From its beginnings as a two-person family team to today’s team of nine dedicated flexo professionals, Bingham Flexo Services is proud to celebrate 35 years of service to the print and packaging industry, guided by its mission to establish and maintain long-term customer relationships through trust, service, and a commitment to standing behind its quality products and manufacturing partners.
“I’m incredibly proud of the business our family began so many years ago. I believe the key to our success is that we’ve always put our customers first and have been committed to their success for over 3 decades; and that is never going to change,” says John Bingham, President of Bingham Flexo Services. “We look forward to not only celebrating this milestone throughout the year but also continuing to serve and support current and future customers for many more years to come.”
