To help our customers succeed by offering a high quality and versatile product selection, experienced on-site staff, and low cost tooling solutions.

Traveling businessman A.C. Gibson founded his company in Buffalo, New York, the company was immediately linked to the graphics industry. At that time, the company produced hand made stencils for marking Erie Canal cargo packaging. From its roots, the company has evolved into a leading supplier of Rubber Stamps & Signs, Packaging Prepress & Tooling, and Metal Tags & Nameplates. As in our early days, our customers depend on Koehler-Gibson to help them succeed with fast service and quality products.
