Our company is a collective of amazing people striving to help organizations make an impact.

Excel Mailing was born in 2005 when founders Robert (Bob) Hansen and Barry Hinton joined forces to pursue their dreams of helping nonprofits make an impact through direct mail printing and production. With great success over the years, they decided to bring on a third partner Tim Franklin to help grow and improve the company.  

Bob, Barry, and Tim’s depth of knowledge in fundraising, direct mail marketing, and printing production are integral to Excel’s high-quality services. They are extremely hands-on and take great pride in helping nonprofits grow and make an impact.
