Bang Completes Hess Deal; Woodstock Plant Shuttered

BRAINERD, MN—Bang Printing has completed its acquisition of Hess Print Solutions of Brimfield, OH. Effective with the completion, the former D.B. Hess plant in Woodstock, IL, is being consolidated into the Ohio facility, a move that will eliminate about 130 positions in Illinois.

According to Todd Vanek, vice president of Bang Printing, the consolidation will take place over the next few months. Hess Print Solutions will become a division of Bang Printing.

BTPO Hess Holdings filed for bankruptcy last May and announced at that time that it was being sold to Bang Printing.
