With Daily Newspaper Contract, PA Printing Plant Invests in New Equipment, Plans Job Growth

The towering white press plant looming over I-81 in Hampden Twp., where The Patriot-News is printed, is undergoing a major expansion.

Advance Central Services Pennsylvania, the company that owns the production facility, is investing in new equipment, adding as many as 20 jobs, and taking on more customers in addition to its current work printing The Patriot-News.

ACS PA announced the $3.6 million expansion in conjunction with the company's new contract to print LNP—Lancaster's daily newspaper—beginning in May. The deal with Lancaster involves printing some 60,000 additional newspapers every weekday and 80,000 more on Sundays.
