Owners
Epic Color is a growing division of A/E Graphics, Inc. which was originally founded in Brookfield, Wisconsin as a division of Green Bay Blue Print Company which goes back over a century!
Max Schober
Marjorie and Guy Lam
The original owner was Max Schober of Berners-Schober in Green Bay where he became a partner in 1906. Guy and Marjorie Lam later ran the Brookfield division until Fred Gennerman and Mel Kirsch acquired and renamed it A/E Graphics, Inc. in 1978.
Max, Guy, Marjorie, Fred and Mel had a basis of hard work, quality results and great customer service.
Always looking to the future, Fred and Mel helped to adapt their roots in blueprinting, photocopying, pin bar registration for drafting and photography into a digital document and color graphics company.

Tom Taubenheim, Tim Davis, Dan Schmidt, Joe Shaw
In 2001, five dedicated employees, Tim Davis, Dan Schmidt, Joe Shaw, John Sieber, and Tom Taubenheim, became owners of A/E Graphics. From the beginning, their professionalism, reliability, and passion made them an integral part of the company, ensuring a smooth transition of ownership to this committed team.
John Sieber
Retires in 2016
In the 2000s, Tim, Dan, Joe John, and Tom revolutionized digital printing, scanning, and online document management. Their innovations enhanced efficiency and accessibility, business practices and setting new industry standards.
In 2009, Epic Color was founded in response to the increasing demand for custom signs and displays, emphasizing quick turnaround times for quotes and site surveys, along with exceptional responsiveness to inquiries. These qualities are quite rare in the display industry. Epic Color operates with the same passion and work ethic as A/E Graphics.
In 2016, John retired from A/E Graphics, marking the end of an era. The journey continued in 2022 when B&L Graphic Solutions was acquired, allowing us to expand our services into the corrugated printing and packaging market. As we look ahead, we honor the legacy of our team, including Dan's retirement from Epic Color in 2024, and committed to delivering quality and innovation in every project.
We are a division of A/E Graphics, a company that specializes in construction plan reprographics and scanning of documents, along with being a Canon Top Performing large format sales and servicing dealer.
In the summer of 2015 a complete remodel of A/E Graphics, Brookfield, Wisconsin building was done. At this time, A/E Graphics and EPIC Color would begin to reside in the same building.

Meet Team
Our team lives by the motto “Be Epic.” Whatever type of project that you dream up, we will make it a reality. Never hesitate to ask us to do something new or “out of the box.” We will make it Epic!
Mel has been here for over a decade. He started at A/E Graphics in Milwaukee and landed at Epic Color in 2012. He is our GM and lead graphic designer.
Erik handles our CSR and project management duties including estimating. He started at B&L Graphic Solutions.
Noah is a 3M Window, Wall and Floors Preferred Installer. He helps with fabrication, production and reproduction of art pieces.
Andi is a key part of our production and workflow. He came over to us from the A/E Graphics.
Printers and Equipment
To provide the best and fastest quality output available at an incredible value we have installed the very latest roll-to-roll print technology with the Canon Colorado M-Series 5W Pro printer.
Not only can we print in gloss or matte, but we can do both at the same time on the same print! Not only that, but we also have the ability to print with white ink! We can print on reflective, chrome or clear materials too!
In addition, we can print directly onto substrates with white ink on our flatbed printer.
We can also laminate prints in-house and have a brand-new cutter giving us quick finishing capabilities.
