Kern Print Services is a premier printing company with a rich history that dates back to 1910. Our company was founded by Robert S. Coats in Bakersfield, California, and has been family-owned and operated for over a century. Over the years, we have evolved to become a leading provider of printing services in the region, serving a wide range of customers from all over Kern County and beyond.

Our History

Our journey began in 1910, when Robert S. Coats founded Coats Printing Company in the 1900 block of Eye Street, Bakersfield, California. In 1912, plans were made for a new building at 2020 Eye Street, and in 1914, the young business relocated to the street-front portion of the two-story building. In 1921, Henry Fultz, a farm boy from Kansas, moved to Bakersfield and went to work as a helper for his uncle Bob. After surviving the Great Depression and World War II, Henry Fultz Jr. returned from the service to join the firm in 1945.
