A Legacy of Innovation
Lawson's story began in 1949 with one inventor and one simple question:
"What does the printer need?"
Founder Gene Landesman had a passion for inventing and solving problems. When a friend asked him to build a better automatic screen printing press, Gene delivered a machine that was simpler, easier to maintain, and more affordable than anything available at the time. That first machine changed the course of the company and helped shape the screen-printing industry. For more than seven decades and three generations, Lawson has remained family-owned and committed to its founding principles:
- Easy to use
- Easy to operate
- Easy to maintain
- Built with the printer in mind
From traditional screen printing to technologies in DTG and DTF, Lawson has always focused on helping printers work smarter and produce better results.
The Workhorse story is built on innovation, evolution, and a relentless commitment to manufacturing dependable equipment.
Its roots trace back to the 1980s with the development of the original Mr. T manual press and the Chaparral line of printing equipment. Through strategic acquisitions, including Tuf Products and Progressive Machine, Workhorse brought together some of the industry's most respected technologies under one brand.
The result was a lineup of equipment trusted by thousands of printers across North America.
From manual presses to automatic production equipment, Workhorse built its reputation on durability, performance, and delivering value to growing shops.
