Weber closes plant to strengthen larger Chicago facility

Weber Marking made the decision to close its printing facility in Tampa, Florida earlier this year because it made ‘economic sense’. 

According to president Dennis McGrath, 12 of the 55 employees working in the Florida plant moved to Chicago to continue their career with the company.  Most of the printing completed in the plant was sent outside of the state and it was in Weber’s best interests to consolidate.

‘We were running only one shift on 10 Mark Andy presses. There was economic justification in moving those presses north to our Chicago facility for a combined total of 40 Mark Andy presses, 380 employees and two shifts,’ McGrath said.   

Weber Marking will celebrate their 75th anniversary later this year.
