Growth-Hungry Inserts East Looking to Expand

PENNSAUKEN, NJ—With many of its competitors either shedding jobs or shuttering their shops completely, Inserts East finds itself in a unique and advantageous position as a printer on the rise.

The company, which prints circulars and newspaper inserts for clients ranging from supermarket ShopRite to Dick's Sporting Goods and retailer Five Below, told the Philadelphia Inquirer that it has hired 30 employees in the past few months and purchased a rebuilt, eight-unit Heidelberg Harris heatset web press and two folding machines.
