McClung Companies was established in 1946 in Waynesboro, Virginia, by Charles McClung and his wife, Lucille. Charles ran the business for 25 years, and, after his passing, Lucille became the President and CEO until the company was purchased by Tom Trevillian in 1984. Trevillian added design, fulfillment, web-to-print, mailing, and other services to McClung’s portfolio, and he also oversaw several expansions to its production space. Today, McClung operates out of a 32,000 square foot facility with the help of 43 team members, generating in excess of $10 million annually in national and international sales.
Recently, McClung has undergone another evolution. “As of August 2025,” said Adam Monk, President, “we have made a significant investment in digital inkjet printing. Our inkjet platform consists of a Canon ProStream production inkjet web press, and a Canon iX sheetfed inkjet press.”
In planning for this analog-to-digital transformation, Monk and his team turned to Standard Finishing and their local Horizon dealer, Atlantic Graphic Systems, for help overhauling their entire bindery operation. Their first acquisitions included a Horizon StitchLiner Mark III Saddlestitcher with VAC Collating Towers and a Horizon CRF-362 Creaser/Folder. “This allowed us to move away from traditional stitching to more of a four-page-up, folder-light manufacturing process for stitching,” Monk said. “By replacing our older equipment with new Standard Horizon equipment, we were able to substantially improve our throughput, quality, and turnaround time.”
Monk noted that a visit to Standard’s Customer Demonstration Center was important to the decision-making process. “It was good for us to meet the people we would be working with, lay hands on the equipment, get all our questions answered, and so on. Virtual demos are great, but on-site visits really make a difference.”
