127 Years of Innovation and Still Evolving

Based in Gilman, Connecticut, and still family-owned after 127 years, The Gilman Brothers has become known for its high-performance foamboard solutions used in wide-format printing, signage, point-of-purchase displays and wall décor. All manufacturing takes place at its U.S.-based facility, ensuring consistent quality and minimizing supply chain disruptions.

At Edge Long Beach, Michael Barrett of The Gilman Brothers emphasized the company’s commitment to reinvention, sustainability and customer needs. He noted a growing shift from traditional foamboard to recyclable materials, especially among West Coast customers who prioritize eco-friendly substrates. Gilman is adapting quickly, offering recyclable paper-based options and innovative board technologies designed to meet the moment.

As The Gilman Brothers collaborates with HP Indigo users in the Dscoop community, they remain focused on what’s kept them thriving for generations: relentless product development, a deep understanding of customer pain points and a passion for U.S.-made quality.
