History

TotalWorks legacy is rooted in the beginning of marketing collateral production: putting type to paper.

 

 

 

 

 

Since 1927, when John Jensen opened his typesetting shop in the Logan Square  neighborhood of Chicago, this company has focused on creating high-quality marketing materials in the most efficient ways.

Decades of process expertise have taught us to consistently automate publishing processes, improve the efficiency of workflows and elevate the quality of output.

From lead typesetters to leaders in print and digital production solutions, TotalWorks considers publishing to be a driving force in business. Using a unique combination of industry experience and technology know-how, we work with clients to increase productivity, reduce costs and implement more profitable marketing campaigns.

Today we are in our third generation of ownership with Gail Ludewig, John Jensen’s granddaughter, in the leadership role. Our reputation for creating value continues and has our clients asking us how to do more with less, which has particular significance in today’s economic climate.
