New Home, $6 Million Expansion for Alpha Beta

TINLEY PARK, IL—Employee-owned Alpha Beta Press has embarked on a $6 million expansion and has moved from Orland Park, IL, to a new facility here in the hopes of bolstering sales from $15 million to $22 million within five years.

The new location houses complete prepress and bindery operations, a small press department and the company's main sheetfed printing equipment, consisting of two two-color presses and three new Mitsubishi presses. The acquisitions are a six-color, 28˝, Model 1F-15 and two 40˝ Model 3F-16 presses in four- and six-color configurations. The company traded in two older six-color presses and installed the Mitsubishi presses at Tinley Park.
