Municipal Code Corporation was founded in 1951 as a one man operation, for the sole purpose of codifying municipal laws and ordinances and publishing this material in looseleaf form. At that time, and until 1963, the publication phase was subcontracted, while the editorial processes were performed in-house. In 1961 MCC acquired its own premises. Two years later a complete printing plant was installed so that all stages of the operation would be under the direct management of MCC, eliminating the need for and dependency on a subcontracted printing service. The company moved to its present location in 1970.

Another milestone in MCC's development occurred in 1973 when the typesetting operation was first computerized. Since then, there have been five different typesetting systems and virtually every department has increased its productivity by using digital technology.

In 1991 the company's supplement service was reorganized from a departmental to a team structure. This organizational change facilitated communication and learning among editors, typesetters and proofreaders; and, most importantly, enabled us to provide better service to our customers by reducing the time required to deliver supplements.

As technology has changed the publishing industry, MCC has adapted. In fact, MCC was the second direct connection to the internet (outside academia) in Leon County. In 1995 the company revised its definition of publishing from "delivering words as ink on paper" to "delivering words in any medium demanded by clients". Thus CD-ROM, floppy disks, magnetic tape, FTP, and posting on our home page were added as delivery mediums. Additionally, virtually all our employees have an e-mail address at which they receive internal and external electronic communication.

In 1999 the company installed its first Print on Demand (POD) system. POD allows clients and subscribers to order as few as one copy of a code or supplement, eliminating the expense of prior printing and physical storage. additionally, the year 1999 saw establishment of a custom publishing division.

MCC has made a commitment to stay abreast of technology and organizational opportunities so that everyone - our clients, our employees, and our stockholders - may benefit.
