Innovation & Superior Service Since 1959

Hudson Blueprint was started in 1959 by Cecil and Ruth Hudson as a part-time venture. As head of the Engineering department of Walker-Neer, a Wichita Falls, Texas oil and water drilling equipment manufacturing firm, Cecil had a great deal of experience in designing and building equipment for that industry.

He loved design and drafting so in 1959 he formed Hudson Engineering and began performing design and drafting work for others, ranging from the creation of oil maps and equipment design to writing patent applications and creating patent drawings.

In 1975, Cecil and Ruth opened their first store in downtown Wichita Falls next to Brook Floral on the corner of Eighth and Brook. A year later, Cecil resigned from Ciba and began to operate Hudson Blueprint on a full-time basis. In 1978, Cecil was approached by some local oilmen seeking better service and asked if he would consider purchasing Wichita Blueprint, another local blueprint company that offered some services not offered by Hudson Blueprint. So, in 1978 Cecil and Ruth purchased the assets of Wichita Blueprint. They combined and moved both businesses to a larger, single location in what is now the Atrium building located at the corner of 6th and Lamar in Wichita Falls. They also expanded services to include microfilming of both small documents and engineering drawings.

Hudson’s is now in its second generation of ownership by the Hudson family. With a team of dedicated employees focused on customer service, Hudson’s has been able to add products and services that reach beyond the architectural, engineering, and construction market. Services such as both indoor and outdoor color graphics and products such as office furniture have been added in recent years to complement the array of products and printing services we have offered for decades.

The management and employees of Hudson Blueprint look forward to the future and the challenges of the ever-changing business environment as your trusted source of products and services for your business and assist you as you grow and prosper.
