== History ==
Milson Printing started business in [[1965]] in a small shop on Duval Street in Key West, Florida. As the business expanded, it moved in [[1974]] to a larger facility in town on Caroline Street, and then again moved in [[1998]] to its present location in Memphis, where the owner could be closer to the blues music he so loves.

The company began as wood, fur and gold traders on the St. Lawrence river, evolving into a dedicated marine carrier in 1870.  The Asian component was added by Stanley Leung, a scion of the renowned Leung Maritime Group, previously traded on the Hang Seng (the Hong Kong stock exchange). Leungs served as the principal agent for the British Crown during World War I and after World War II.

In 1949, Leungs diversified into shipping, pharmaceutical and construction, achieving phenomenal growth, coining the phrase “a little tiger”. It was in 1964 that Stanley Leung concluded long-running negotiations to forge a new shipping alliance based in North America and allowing Asia Pacific to offer services to major ports throughout Asia.
