Diversified Labeling Solutions Expands Its Nationwide Footprint with Texas Facility

ITASCA, IL—Sept. 27, 2011—Diversified Labeling Solutions, a nationwide manufacturer of pressure-sensitive labels sold exclusively through the trade, has opened a new production facility in Arlington, TX. The new plant will act as the primary production and distribution site for Diversified’s print broker and value-added reseller clients in the Southwest.

“We are very pleased to have our new Arlington, Texas plant open,” said Robert Hakman, owner and president of Diversified. “It allows us to provide a much higher level of service to both our Southwest clients as well as regional offices of the many national firms we work with. We now have a true nationwide footprint that will drive down costs and increase efficiencies for our dealer partners and their clients.”
