About Franklin

In 1936 a young Leonard Taylor opened the doors of The Franklin Press in Victoria Street, Footscray. Nearly seven decades later his sons, Phil and Trevor, run one of the largest printing companies in Australia with their wives, Elizabeth and Donna.

Today, The Franklin Printing Group employs over 200 people in purpose built manufacturing facilities in Sunshine, Melbourne. Here we produce around 2 billion catalogues and direct mail pieces per annum and serve a diverse range of clients including some of Australia’s most successful retailers.

Our growth is testament to our hands on approach and our belief in old fashioned values – building quality relationships with customers and staff, and continually evolving the business to meet customer needs.a
