Jeff Marshall of Printex named Entrepreneur of the Year
On October 17, 1975, in a vacant office at Franklin University, Chillicothe Graphics was incorporated. Born from an idea and passion, Jeff Marshall, sold his airplane to buy his first printing press and opened the doors of Chillicothe Graphics in the living room of his home in the beginning of 1976.
Today, Marshall’s Printex Same-Day Printing employs 13, turning out 31,500 business cards and 150,000 copies a month at its location on East Main Street. In his 37th year of business, Marshall is the chamber’s 28th Entrepreneur of the Year, honored at the chamber's Annual Dinner on Jan. 31, 2012.
