The Arion Press is a continuation of Grabhorn-Hoyem, a printing establishment co-founded in 1965 by Robert Grabhorn, one of the original founders of the Grabhorn Press, and Andrew Hoyem. When Robert Grabhorn died in 1973, Hoyem assumed control of the operation and renamed it after the legendary poet Arion. The Arion Press, which inherited the Grabhorn Press plant and extensive collection of American metal type, is still in operation and includes a typecasting division – M & H Type – as well as bookbinding facilities.
