Spear expands Ohio facility

Spear Group Holdings has announced the expansion of its Mason, Ohio, production facility, which will create 30 jobs. Manufacturing capacity will be transferred from its site in Milford, New Hampshire.

Randy Spear, the company’s president, said: ‘We have experienced strong growth over the last several years with our global output more than doubling in the last seven years.  This includes the addition of two wide web gravure facilities, doubling the output of our European capabilities and creating state-of-the-art operations in South Africa. Updating our narrow web capabilities in Mason ensures that Spear’s customers can continue to depend on our industry leading capabilities for both their narrow and wide-web requirements.’

Spear has named the Mason facility its ‘Narrow Web UV Center of Excellence’ and it will include new printing presses, production flows and cosmetic upgrades. Work is scheduled to begin in August and complete by the end of 2009.
