Our History
Ray Schumann & Associates was founded by Raymond H. Schumann in 1957.
The first location established in downtown St. Louis. Initially established as a trade shop serving offset printers, the company quickly grew and expanded to a new location in midtown St. Louis.
In November 1973, Ray Schumann & Associates relocated to its current location at 1347 January Avenue. As the flexographic sector of the printing industry rapidly grew, the company recognized the need to adapt and stay ahead of the curve. In the early 1970s, we added DuPont Cyrel photopolymer plate technology to our services, solidifying our position as a leader in the St. Louis area for both narrow and wide web flexographic printing processes. Today, we continue to provide our clients with the most advanced solutions and cutting-edge technology.
Following the loss of Ray Sr., the family business was carried on for several years by the next generation, who continued to invest in new technology. Dennis and Jim Schumann, the last of Ray Sr.’s children, took the reins and dedicated themselves to growing the business. Through their efforts, Ray Schumann & Associates has established itself as a leader in the industry, known for its commitment to quality and innovation.
In 2019, Jim Jaycox and Scott Schumann acquired Ray Schumann & Associates. They have been committed to providing our customers with the latest technologies and solutions to meet their pre-press and media needs. With a focus on innovation and growth, they continue to invest in the company to ensure that we are always at the forefront of the industry.
