Our History

Western Printing (as we were initially called) was founded in Aberdeen, South Dakota in 1929. The goal was simple: provide quality printed products to business customers in the area. 

Then after 50 years of executing that vision, everything changed in the late 1970’s. Super 8 Motels, an Aberdeen founded company, began franchising their brand. They asked us to provide printed products, uniforms, and other branded materials for their hotel locations. We grew alongside Super 8 for the next 15 years until they were sold to what is now Wyndham Worldwide, an owner of multiple franchised, hospitality brands.  We quickly expanded to meet the needs of their franchised hospitality brands and at the same time, added other national hotel brands as customers.

Corporate Image Group Today

We have continued to evolve our business model around maximizing efficiencies for our franchise customers so they have more time to devote to the most important issues they face in their business. In 2015, we changed our name to Corporate Image Group to better reflect the diversity of our product offering. We are currently under the 4th generation of Pfeiffer family leadership and are one of the largest 100% Native-owned branded merchandise companies in the nation.
