Although the present name: Graphcom Printers Ltd. has been used only since 1985, the company's roots go back to Lethbridge's first daily newspaper and commercial printing operation, started in 1907 and then known as the Herald Job Shop.  Over the years, the present company has had a number of owners and names: Herald Job Shop, The Herald Printers, Ronalds Federated, Ronalds Western.  In 1985 the company was purchased by Gerry and Coby DeHeer from Ronalds and took on its present name, which is a combination of what printing is all about: GRAPHic COMmunications.  In 1994, Graphcom was purchased by Jack and Laura DeHeer.

Under Ronald's ownership, the company operated for some time in a space leased from the Lethbridge Herald.  Graphcom now has its own building which encompasses over 14,000 square feet and is located at 1009 -  2 Avenue South in Lethbridge, Alberta.  Historic roots in themselves do not necessarily make a company successful; it is the value of its people combined with up-to-date technology.
