About Us

Established in 1933, Holum and Sons Co., Inc. has been family owned and operated for four generations.  Starting out in a small 500 SF facility on Lake Street in Chicago, we quickly grew, moving to a larger facility in the suburbs. Finally, in the late 1970's, due to our continued success, we moved to our current location in Westmont, IL.  We now boast a 40,000 SF facility; and even though we have expanded in both size and technology, our quality craftsmanship remains the foundation of our success.

But don't take our word for it, The Binding Industries Association has recognized Holum and Sons with a total of 18 International Product of Excellence Awards between 2008 - 2011. 

Some of our recent awards:  Innovative Use of Materials, Product Design, Specialty Products, Boxes and Totes, Foil-Stamping and Screen-Printing, and one award we are especially proud of, simply called "The Best of the Best". 

Let Holum and Sons Co., Inc. accomplish for your company what we have achieved for some of our current clients.  With your ideas, we can DESIGN ~  CREATE ~ INSPIRE a special product or project for your company, and who knows, yours may be the next Best of the Best!
