Founded in 1852 as the Weltbuerger Printing Company, the business published southeastern Wisconsin's official German newspaper, The Weltbuerger, until the 1940s when World War II prompted businesses across America to eliminate their German products. The newspaper was discontinued, the commercial printing operation went in to full swing and the business shortened its name to Wepco Printing (Weltbuerger Printing Company).

Early in 1997, it seemed only appropriate Wepco Printing be owned by publishers of another premier newspaper, the Watertown Daily Times. Known prior to 1997 as Watertown's premier business  form and letterpress printing company, Wepco Printing has since drastically expanded its services and upgraded its equipment. Wepco Printing now offers state-of-the-art printing, desktop publishing, design and finishing services using the most up-to-date equipment available to the printing industry.
