A Legacy of Innovation

Lawson Screen & Digital Products

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:

Across seven decades and three generations, we’ve stayed true to our founding principles: easy to use, easy to operate, easy to maintain.

Lawson continues to lead in traditional screen printing and is a pioneer in DTG and DTF technologies.

Workhorse Products

Workhorse's roots trace back to the 1980s with the development of the Mr. T manual press and the Chaparral line of equipment.

Through strategic acquisitions of Tuf Products (2003) and Progressive Machine (2005), Workhorse built a powerful lineup of presses trusted by thousands of printers.

Built on durability, performance, and value, Workhorse earned a reputation for helping shops grow and succeed.
