Team Member Spotlight: Tim Martin, President
At Executive Printing, family and print go hand in hand—and no one embodies that more than our President, Tim Martin. From growing up in the print shop to leading the company into the future, Tim’s journey has been one of passion, perseverance, and purpose.
A Legacy in Print
Tim has worked at Executive Printing for 15 years, but his roots in the print world go back much further.
As a kid, Tim helped his dad with hand work and collating—much of which has since been automated. Tim progressed into the bindery part of the business, then scheduling, then sales, and when his parents sold the company a few years ago, he moved into a management role. Those early experiences left a lasting impression and helped shape his future in the business.
My father worked in the industry all my life. I would go to the shop and watch him work when I was a boy and fell in love with the trade.
Leading the Way
As President, Tim wears many hats—but one of his favorite things is building pricing engines (yes, really!).
“I love working with customers and colleagues, watching the industry evolve, and implementing new technologies that enhance quality and service.”
His favorite project from the past year? A unique and visually stunning print piece for Fabarm. It had some really intricate finishing that turned out beautifully. It was great collaborating with them to bring their design to life.
Life Lessons from a Strong Role Model
One of the most valuable lessons Tim learned came from watching his father push through difficult health challenges with unwavering commitment.
“Perseverance. That’s what he taught me.”
It’s a lesson that continues to inspire him today—whether he’s guiding the company, working with clients, or supporting his team.
Shaping the Future of Print
Under Tim’s leadership, Executive Printing continues to evolve by investing in cutting-edge technology and creative innovations. A key milestone was the addition of the Speedmaster CD 102 press, a state-of-the-art offset press that delivers vibrant, high-resolution printing with remarkable speed and precision. This press has enhanced production capabilities, especially for large-volume and high-end print jobs like catalogs, brochures, and packaging.
Tim has also championed the addition of scratch-and-sniff printing, giving clients a unique, sensory way to engage with their audience. Whether it’s a coffee-scented postcard or a bakery label with the aroma of fresh pie, this specialty print technique creates memorable experiences that stand out in a crowded marketplace.
Tim is excited to share that this autumn, they are implementing Prinect software in the print shop! This advanced workflow solution will give greater color control and consistency across all printing platforms, ensuring every project meets the highest standards of quality and precision. It’s another step forward in combining craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology.
By embracing both tradition and innovation, Tim is leading Executive Printing into an exciting new era—where craftsmanship meets creativity, and every print tells a story.
Beyond the Pressroom
When he’s not leading Executive Printing, Tim enjoys reading, smoking meat, and dreaming about teleportation (his superpower of choice—because waiting in traffic is not his thing).
A fun fact? He’s number 8 out of 14 children!
His favorite travel memory is exploring Egypt, and his go-to restaurant in Lancaster City is The Horse Inn.
Tim also gives back by volunteering with his church’s ESL and Sunday School programs, finding time to support others even in his busy schedule.
We’re incredibly grateful for Tim’s leadership, vision, and dedication to both our team and our customers. Stay tuned for more behind-the-scenes stories from the people who power the presses at Executive Printing!
