46 Years of Commercial Printing Leadership
John LaForce has built his career on a simple principle: sustainable business comes from understanding each client’s unique challenges. Therefore, as President and Co-Owner of Baldwin Business Systems, he leads a company culture that stands apart from competitors chasing volume through generic pricing.
His credentials are substantial. John holds a BA in History from St. Bonaventure University and the professional designation of Certified Forms Consultant (CFC). This credential places him alongside accounting professionals in industry recognition. His technical expertise spans offset and digital printing, pressure-sensitive labels, self-mailing forms, fulfillment logistics, design services, and high-security government document production.
Problem-Solving Through Custom Solutions
What drives John most is delivering creative solutions that improve client efficiency and reduce operational costs. One signature achievement demonstrates this approach: he coordinated a custom check production system for payroll and vendor payments that eliminated envelope use entirely and cut production costs significantly.
This innovation earned Baldwin its position as a preferred vendor for Nassau and Suffolk County governments and multiple NYC agencies. Those relationships, sustained over four decades, reflect Baldwin’s competitive advantage. While competitors chase short-term volume, John and his team focus on understanding what each customer actually needs to operate efficiently.
Expertise Across Industries
That expertise spans multiple sectors: retail and healthcare, government and professional services, field operations and corporate administration. Every solution reflects the client’s brand standards and operational workflow. Baldwin delivers through custom design, variable data capabilities, and fulfillment services that integrate seamlessly into existing systems.
Integrity and Accountability
John’s commitment to precision and fair dealing extends beyond the office. He’s an accomplished golfer and racquetball player. He also holds a unique professional credential: certified hockey referee. That same dedication to clarity and accountability shapes how he manages Baldwin client relationships—with transparency and genuine partnership.
For organizations seeking more than printing services, John and Baldwin represent a rare combination. They offer deep industry expertise, honest commitment to customer success, and the stability that comes from 46 years of proven results.
