Universal Press Expands Capacity

NILES, IL—Construction has begun on a 36,000-square-foot expansion that will nearly double the size of the existing facility at Universal Press. Groundbreaking took place last November and the addition is expected to be completed in July.

With the new space comes enhancements such as automatic waste removal, room for a more efficient workflow and two new docks. The expansion is also being ushered in with a bevy of new machinery—a more than $4 million initiative that has taken place over the past 18 months.
