Dr. h.c. Niels M. Winther founded Winther & Associates in 2004 out of a desire to give back to the print community of which he was a part of its leadership for over 35 years.

Through organic growth and through mergers and acquisitions, Niels and team built upon successes and continues to expand this thriving business
