In 1924 A.G. Wallin acquired a small printing company in Salt Lake City. He chose the name of Paragon Press to be a reflection of his vision for the company. His ideals remain to this day.  In 1946 A.G. turned the company over to his son, Dean A. Wallin and Dean’s brother-in-law, Bud Stuber. The two of them grew Paragon into the premier printing company that it is now.  One of the revolutionary changes was moving away from the letterpress technique, to offset lithography. During their management of the company they purchased and installed the first 4-color offset sheet-fed printing press in Utah.
 

In the 1980’s Dean and Bud began the transition of ownership to Al Fairbanks and Ken Wayman. In order to lead Paragon into the 21st century Al and Ken worked to expand the company. First, by moving into the current 72,000 square foot facility, then modernizing the equipment and adding Flexographic and Digital printing capabilities.
