Multi-Color Corporation Announces Expansion Plan

SHARONVILLE, Ohio—Multi-Color Corporation has announced plans to expand its manufacturing operations with the purchase of a 247,000 sq. ft. building in Batavia, Ohio. Multi-Color is investing in this facility to create a platform for the future in order to take full advantage of the long-term growth opportunities in the decorative label industry.

Multi-Color plans to consolidate its current Batavia, Ohio and Troy, Ohio operations into the new Batavia facility during the next several months. By consolidating these operations, Multi-Color expects to achieve manufacturing efficiencies while expanding needed capacity for long-term growth.

Two of the company’s recently acquired presses will be located in this new building: a combination press and a flexo press. The combination, wide-format press is custom-configured with flexographic, gravure, screen, and foil platforms. The flexo press offers high-quality flexo print, screen printing, lamination, and foil stamping.

“Today’s business environment requires us to continuously look at ways to optimize our investment in manufacturing assets,” said Frank Gerace, president and CEO of Multi-Color. “Consolidating our two existing plant operations into this world-class facility will allow us to reduce costs while being able to take advantage of new market opportunities. This move strengthens our competitive position and will enable us to attract the best talent for our future.”
