Creative Solutions in Healthcare Acquires Wes-Tex Printing, Preserving Texas Family Legacy
Fort Worth, Texas, November 1, 2025—
West Texas Printing Company Inc. (Wes-Tex Printing), a family-owned printing and manufacturing business with more than 60 years of history, has been acquired by Creative Solutions in Healthcare, effective November 1, 2025.
Founded in 1946, Wes-Tex has grown into a trusted leader in commercial printing, specializing in business stationery for companies across the United States and Canada. From its 60,000-square-foot facility in Brownwood, Texas, Wes-Tex produces more than half a million business cards per day and ships most products in less than two days.
The company has been proudly owned and operated by the Blake family since its founding. With this acquisition, ownership will continue within the family, as Gary Blake, owner and co-founder of Creative Solutions in Healthcare, assumes ownership of Wes-Tex.
Day-to-day operations at Wes-Tex will continue uninterrupted, maintaining the traditions and craftsmanship that have defined the company for generations. Customers will continue to receive the same dedication, reliability, and personal service that have defined Wes-Tex for decades.
However, Wes-Tex will now benefit from Creative Solutions’ established HR, accounting and finance support, along with strategic investments in technology and print systems to further strengthen operations.
Blake’s connection to Wes-Tex runs deep, long before he entered the long-term care industry, he worked at the Brownwood shop, learning the art and precision of commercial printing, firsthand. From time spent operating an offset lithography printing press to understanding customer service and fulfillment, his early experience at Wes-Tex shaped his commitment to excellence and innovation in business.
“Wes-Tex isn’t just a business- it’s part of Texas history, and part of my family’s story. I learned hard work right here in Brownwood, running presses and serving customers who expected nothing but the best. We’re proud to carry this Texas legacy forward. Our commitment to quality, to our community, and to good honest service will never change — and I couldn’t be prouder to keep Wes-Tex in the family for the next generation”
Wes-Tex will continue its legacy as part of the Creative Solutions family- still family-owned, still proudly rooted in Texas, and still dedicated to delivering excellence in every order.
