Yerecic Label adds Mark Andy P7 press cell in Arizona

Yerecic Label is adding a new Mark Andy P7 printing press cell at its Arizona facility. This investment strengthens production capabilities and enhances Yerecic Label’s ability to meet customer demand with speed and flexibility.

'We approach every investment through the lens of continuous improvement,' said Josh Yerecic, executive vice president of manufacturing. 'The consistent growth at our Arizona facility made this press addition a natural next step — that reinforces our commitment to operational excellence, efficiency and customer satisfaction. We’re now operating three shifts, 24/5, just like our Pennsylvania facility, allowing both locations to deliver the same level of strength, agility and responsiveness. This expansion was part of a broader strategic plan to ensure our capacity and infrastructure stay ahead of future customer needs.'

Jon Egbert, general manager of Yerecic Label’s Arizona facility, was one of the original team members who relocated from Pennsylvania to launch the site. With experience across both locations and a deep understanding of Yerecic Label’s operational culture, Egbert now leads the Arizona team.

'This addition reflects the dedication of our team and the incredible partnerships we’ve built,' said Egbert.

'It’s a direct result of the trust our customers place in us, and we’re proud to continue growing alongside them to support their business with reliability and responsiveness.'

The press installation includes a 17in P7 Mark Andy flexographic press, a Martin Automatic unwind stand and a KTI turret rewinder, designed to minimize press interruptions. E&L inspection equipment is also used for defect detection, supporting greater efficiency and precision.

Craig Black, senior vice president, equipment sales at Mark Andy, said: 'We are proud to continue our partnership with the team at Yerecic Label and be part of their continued success. It’s exciting to see the P7 flexo press being added to their fleet of existing Mark Andy equipment — the most productive flexo press in the market and perfect to support their expansion in Arizona.'
