Key Companies was founded as Key Blue Prints, Inc. in 1965 in Central Ohio. Since then, the company has grown from a local blueprint and reprographics provider into a diversified provider of commercial printing, large-format graphics and signage, construction document services, 3D scanning and reality capture, and printing equipment sales and service.
Key Companies is more than a traditional print provider. Our roots in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry have given us decades of experience supporting complex, time-sensitive projects involving plans, specifications, bid documents, revisions, jobsites, and project coordination.
Over time, those capabilities have expanded well beyond construction. Today, Key Companies provides commercial printing, large-format graphics and signage, professional installation, 3D scanning and reality capture, document services, and printing equipment sales and service for organizations across many industries.
What sets us apart is the combination of these capabilities with a strong commitment to hands-on customer support. Our team works closely with customers to solve problems, coordinate projects, meet demanding schedules, and help find the right solution when a job is more complex than simply sending a file to print.
From the planning and construction of a facility through its signage, branding, printed communications, technology, and ongoing operational needs, Key Companies strives to be a responsive, long-term partner our customers can rely on.
Key Companies operates three locations in Ohio: Downtown Columbus on East Livingston Avenue, Westerville/North Columbus on Schrock Road, and Cincinnati on Elliott Avenue.
These locations support local production, customer pickup, delivery, equipment sales and service, and regional project support throughout Central and Southwest Ohio.
Key Companies supports organizations across a wide range of industries, with especially deep experience in architecture, engineering, construction, and commercial development.
We also work with commercial real estate, healthcare, hospitality, industrial and manufacturing, corporate offices, financial institutions, education, nonprofits, retail, and property and facility management organizations.
Because our services span construction documents, commercial printing, signage and graphics, 3D scanning, installation, and printing equipment, we can support customers through many stages of a project or business operation—from planning and construction through branding, communication, and ongoing facility needs.
Key Companies is guided by our CREATE core values: Commitment, Respect, Excellence, Accountability, Trust, and Engagement.
These values shape how we serve our customers, work with one another, take ownership of our work, adapt to challenges, and continuously improve. We are committed to delivering on our promises, treating customers and teammates with professionalism, maintaining high standards, acting with integrity and transparency, and creating lasting value through collaboration.
Together, these values reflect our goal to CREATE a legacy in every impression.
