over 50,000 square feet of the location, nearly twice their
current office and manufacturing space. Raymond J. Caravan,
Jr., President of K-B Offset Printing and Chairman of
theprinters.com indicated that "Our rapid growth and
business expansion for the traditional and digital printing
business of K-B Offset Printing and theprinters.com in the
current century have exhausted our existing space on West
College Avenue in State College. We are looking forward to
being able to expand our current operations and continue our
move into developing technologies and improving the overall
printing process."
The two companies currently
employ seventy (70) people in their State College facility
and see new jobs and increased employment on the horizon.
"The additional space will obviously increase our
manufacturing capacity, and we anticipate that our business
model with expanded sales and marketing efforts will allow
us to increase our employment by twenty-five (25%) percent
or more," say Robert L. Orr, Jr., President of
theprinters.com.
The interior retrofitting
and modifications will begin in August, and the companies
expect to be moved to the new space in early 2007. ### |
