COMPANY HISTORY In the fall of 1946, Madzay Printing Co. was founded in Cleveland, Ohio by John and Anna Madzay who faithfully served as Jehovah's Witnesses since the 1930's. The company printed placards worn by Jehovah's Witnesses on street corners advertising public talks, paper signs displayed in store windows advertising circuit assemblies, lapel cards for circuit assembly delegates, "No Blood Transfusion" cards carried by Jehovah's Witnesses, and Yeartext banners for Kingdom Halls. When John Madzay died on January 8, 1966, the business was continued by one of his sons, Donald, a graduate of the 35th class of Gilead who returned with his wife, Esther, in 1964 from their missionary assignment in New Zealand to care for their ailing parents.
The company's name was changed to Donald R. Madzay Printing. A number of greeting cards, Bible Character Cards (set one), and Hebrew and Greek Scriptures flash cards were added to the product line. In August, 1977, the company moved to Sedona, Arizona. The product line expanded to include more greeting cards, a Bible Character coloring book, table hot pads, placemats, full-color Bible Scripture framing prints, book covers, bookmarks and calendars.
On March 21, 1983, the company, renamed Madzay Color Graphics, Inc. moved back to Ohio. Donald, Esther, son Eric, daughter Susan, and their mates, along with other pioneers and family members shared in the company's operation. The product line was expanded to include notebooks, puzzles, vinyl organizers and return visit books.
In 1997 Donald and Esther Madzay retired, electing Eric as President of the corporation. In 2000, Susan (Madzay) Twyford moved to Arizona with her husband and children where she serviced California customers for a number of years.
Everyone at Madzay Color Graphics, Inc. are Jehovah's Witnesses in good standing in their respective congregations.
