Bell Litho

Bell Litho Inc. was founded by Herman Bellagamba, trade lithographer, and opened in 1965 in Chicago's Printers' Row. Our strength is the company's close customer intimacy culture. We devote ourselves fiercely to each client's success. By responding to and anticipating our clients' needs, Bell Litho has learned to harness imagination and technology to build capabilities and decades long relationships. The Bell Litho family of companies reflects growing market sophistication, evolving needs, and advancing technology. Our company began as a pre-press shop, and expanded into commercial lithography. In the 1970's Bell Litho added printing with code driven type-setting, Mergenthaler and Compugraphic "cold type." During the late 70's to 80's company leadership embraced desktop publishing. The company developed inventive ways to create work up film for the plate making process--years ahead of the market. These solutions eliminated prep work before Computer to Plate Technology (CPT) became commercially available. In the 1990's the company grew our capabilities to match our clients' needs and expanded our services. We began to provide fulfillment services (through our DistCom Division), digital printing (through our GLO Document Solutions Division), and flexographic labels (through our Sun America Division). In 2005, Bell Litho began Internet applications that have evolved into offerings. Bell Litho Internet Solutions (BLIS) now offers Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions for fulfillment, brand management, marketing automation, and consulting. With BLIS, we are system software developers and providers of premier software solutions. As a by-product, five patents have been granted by The United States Patent and Trademark Office in recognition of Bell Litho's innovation. Integrity and solid financial management are cornerstones of Bell Litho's longevity and strength. We conduct our company business and relationships to support our clients today and for the years ahead. Our innovation has been recognized by the US Patent office: 7,268,896 B2; 7,716,735 B2; 7,554,681 B2; 7,814,560 B2; 8,928,932 B2.
