The history of Warwick Publishing (PPAI 114154, Silver) goes back more than 130 years, when the company first published a small, local newspaper in St. Charles, Illinois. When the presses weren’t being used to print newspapers, the owners began printing advertising calendars, and a new business was born. In 1989, the focus turned solely to calendar production, along with other paper-based promo items.

Five generations of the Paschal family have led the business since its beginning, including 2023 PPAI Rising Star Alex Paschal, now the firm’s president. Recently, about 30% of cabling at its headquarters has been redesigned to improve efficiency and functionality, and the company will be rolling out a new ERP system in July.
