Kerley Ink Company was founded by Ray Kerley in 1932. Incorporated in 1947, Kerley Ink specializes in the manufacture of all types of offset inks for publication, commercial, and packaging applications. Kerley Ink is unique in the printing ink manufacturing industry because of its vertical integration, yet relatively compact size. Kerley Ink formulates and manufactures almost all of its own raw materials: bases, dispersions, ink vehicles and ink compounds. In addition to marketing to the large-scale publication, commercial and packaging printers around the world, Kerley Ink also offers those ink raw materials and its press-ready inks to the rest of the printing ink industry on a wholesale basis.
