NEW ADDITION TO INTERPRINT
On July 12, 2008 Interprint executives, public officials and business leaders celebrated the company’s construction launch of its new $7 million addition. This addition will house the first digital laser engraving system in the United States used for decorative laminated paper.
Building on a history of Investment and Growth
Interprint’s headquarters was orginally located on Pecks Road in Pittsfield, until two years ago when the company’s growth demanded the construction of their current $27 million, 138,000 square foot headquarters on Route 41.
New Jobs
The expansion of the route 41 facility is projected to add five new jobs in 2009 when the 18,000-square-foot expansion is complete, said Jens Bauer, managing director of Interprint. Eventual growth will bring more jobs. The company presently has 130 employees at its Pittsfield plant.
Expansion means process no longer needs to be outsourced
Interprint’s venture at the Route 41 plant will make room for technology that provides more distinct patterns and designs for its paper-based products, with faster turnaround time. The company has been outsourcing the engraving process to a Holyoke firm, and will soon be doing that task in-house, with a higher level of detail and quality.
