In the competitive landscape of commercial communications, Fineline Printing Group has established itself not just as a provider but as a minority-owned cornerstone of the Midwest business community.
Founded in 1981 by Richard Miller, the company has evolved from a burgeoning print shop into one of the largest providers of commercial print, mailing and fulfillment solutions in the region.
The company’s foundation is built on the personal journey of its founder, Richard Miller. Born in Argentina, Miller immigrated to New York as a teenager before eventually bringing his entrepreneurial vision to Indianapolis. His philosophy remains the heartbeat of the organization: “We won’t ask for your business until we can improve it.” This solution-driven approach has allowed the firm to maintain a “small shop” level of personal service while scaling to meet the demands of major corporations.
Now a second-generation family-owned business, Fineline is led by President Ric Miller, who began his tenure in 1991. Under this leadership, the company has expanded its capabilities to include complex print automation, inventory management and sophisticated data-driven mailing services. Despite this growth, the organization remains deeply committed to its identity as a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE).
“Fineline is devoted to fostering diversity through contributions to and participation in national, regional, and local diversity programs,” the company stated on its website. This commitment extends beyond their own walls to their supplier diversity initiatives and community outreach within Indianapolis.
Sustainability also plays a critical role in Fineline’s operations. The group actively pursues waste reduction and eco-friendly ink and chemical usage, proving that industrial-scale production can coexist with environmental stewardship.
Today, operating out of its Zionsville Road headquarters, Fineline Printing Group serves as a case study in how minority-owned businesses can drive regional economic growth.
