K/P Corp. Invests in Washington Plant Expansion

RENTON, WA—K/P Corp. has completed the build out of a new 125,000 square foot fulfillment, print and direct mail facility at 555 Monster Road SW in Renton. K/P is combining operations from its two current facilities in Seattle and Kent into a single, larger facility to be fully operational by August 8, 2008.

Susan Kelly, CEO, stated. “We at K/P are constantly improving the efficiency of our operations so that we can provide our clients unsurpassed service. Given the rising costs of fuel, paper and other commodities K/P’s new streamlined facility will provide increased efficiency and eliminate redundant processes. This new facility will cement K/P’s ability to orchestrate more complex, more sophisticated and more secure integrated marketing solutions our clients are looking for, now and well into the future.”

The all-in-one center provides enhanced marketing capabilities including Seattle’s newest 40-inch 6 color Komori press, the latest in one-to-one and on-demand digital print capabilities, direct mailing, expanded IT infrastructure, database management and custom kitting. Susan Kelly adds that “Redesigning a new facility gave us the opportunity to advance our green initiatives. For example, our new Komori press includes the latest generation of process software not seen before in the Seattle market. We use less paper to get the job done. We significantly reduce, and eliminate in some cases, the use of solvents and added the newest in environmentally-friendly coating techniques. In addition we installed the latest high efficiency lighting and racking systems. We continually look for new ways to make a difference in the conservation of resources and substantially reduce our carbon footprint. In today’s marketplace, being a one-plant facility makes the most economical and environmental sense for our clients and for our business.” The facility also offers enhanced fulfillment systems and superior data processing, security and quality control systems to protect client’s information and materials.
