...In January of 1908, Albert Hignell set up his small printing shop in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. His business grew and prospered. As a family business for four generations, the company management included Albert's two sons, his grandson, and his great grandson.

...In the early years, local commercial printing was the company's mainstay, but in the 1950s, Hignell Printing Limited started to specialize in the printing of books (particularly short press runs of five thousand books or less).

...In February of 1989, the Hignell family sold the business to Unigraphics Limited, a Winnipeg-based graphic communications company. With Unigraphics' involvement, Hignell Printing acquired state-of-the-art equipment and has kept abreast of the rapid technological changes that are affecting the printing industry.

...Service, quality, and value is behind everything we do at Hignell Book Printing. We offer complete in-house services for most medium and short-run book printing. We also know that it takes more than good equipment to serve our customers, it takes good people. At Hignell, our people are a team - from receptionist, to estimators and planners, to pressmen, to sales representatives, to company management - all are dedicated to providing customer satisfaction.
