Parmaco Global Graphics to Move Elk Grove Village Plant

MARIETTA, Ga.—Pamarco Global Graphics will be moving its Elk Grove Village plant in Illinois (focused on the recovery of their Diamond brand rollers) to Wheeling (which manufactures Syn-tac rollers), as part of the strategy for integrating their group’s offset division.

Work is underway to reorganize the Wheeling facility to allow for a dedicated large roller recovery cell, which will consist of the team and equipment from Elk Grove Village.

Bill Ford, president PPG Diamond stated, “The benefits of this move are many. The obvious financial savings in plant overhead will enable us to maintain a competitive edge at a time when material, distribution, and energy costs are rising at an unprecedented level. This will be further enhanced from the economies of scale available to us and the improved utilization of the Wheeling plant. From an operational point of view, it will provide a stronger management structure for the Illinois team to develop under. When looking at ‘best practice,’ our Wheeling facility has been the leader in terms of lean manufacture, and we can use this to further enhance our roller recovery manufacturing techniques.”

Ford went on to say, “We are very proud to have such a committed, experienced, hard working team in Elk Grove, and are delighted to be able to give them a bigger environment in which to grow and develop.”
