From a one-car garage in the early 1960’s , John J. Wert, Jr. developed a firm that has become a leader in the library bookbinding industry. Beginning in 1963 when John and Kathryn, his wife, started full-time in the business, growth and profits remained constantly improving. Operations moved from the garage, to the rear of a local food market and then to an old church. In 1968, the firm was moved to a rented building at the Harrisburg International Airport, but not before being incorporated in 1966. John Wert passed away three years later in 1971.
     The corporation suffered another great setback in 1972 when the company was devastated by the Agnes flood. The bindery and inventory were greatly damaged by seven feet of water. Within weeks though, operations were back to normal through the efforts and cooperation of our excellent staff.
     The corporation built its present location in 1984. Over the years loyal employees and a great product have made Wert Bookbinding, Inc. one of the premier library bookbinderies in the eastern United States. Today, Wert Bookbinding provides quality products to libraries, printers, and individuals. Please feel free
to contact us for more information. Our staff will be glad to assist.
