In the 1950’s, America’s marketers were beginning to invest more heavily in direct mail, but the technology wasn’t keeping up. Jack Joss saw a need for better machinery and a more efficient mailing system. So with his eyes to the future he founded Northwest Mailing Service. Thanks to his insatiable quest for mechanical innovation, Jack quickly made his mark as a leader in automation. And owing to his strong business sense and his ability to adapt quickly to market needs, Northwest soon became the go-to company for direct marketers of all sizes.

Today, Jack’s sons are at the helm, and have grown Northwest into one of the country’s premier and most progressive marketing services providers. Staying true to their father’s vision, they continue to expand the company’s capabilities. And sharing their father’s thirst for new and better technology, they’re constantly investing in state-of-the-art machinery, and have actually spearheaded the development of new systems unique to Northwest. We look forward to the next 50 years, and look forward to working with you today.
