History of CBI
For over 40 years, CBI has been recognized as an innovative printing, distribution and fulfillment company, providing highly customized solutions for companies seeking integrated marketing, distribution and fulfillment services.

The company’s story began in 1962, when 23-year-old Cliff Bregstone began selling business forms. Bregstone knew that the best way to service a customer was to understand their business needs, the way they did things and then work together to meet those needs. He believed focusing on the customer’s business process was the key to a successful partnership. That belief has been a cornerstone of the CBI philosophy since day one. And it still remains, even though CBI has grown and expanded to meet the industry’s expanding requirements.

In 1970, CBI developed a proprietary software system to monitor and control the inventory and distribution of Business Forms and Printing.

The needs of business changed in the 1980’s and elimination of waste and inefficiency became increasingly important. CBI responded by becoming a pioneer in the area of Forms Management. Their objective was to help companies gain control of their paperwork by taking a systems approach to the problem. CBI was the first company in the industry to develop a quality process based on the Phil Crosby method.

In the 90's, CBI broadened its expertise and product mix to include the development of electronic forms. Distribution and fulfillment also became a core part of our business, as their customers wanted them to handle more and more products in our distribution system.

Today CBI holds a commanding position in the industry. CBI is recognized as a leader in the Six Sigma process and a strategic partner in our customer’s supply chain management initiatives. Because of ever changing technologies and customer requirements, CBI has developed web-based systems to ensure that their customer’s stated and unarticulated needs are met.

As they have in the past, CBI’s future development and investments will grow to meet their client’s ever evolving needs.
