St. Ives Expands Avanti Plant

MIAMI—St. Ives U.S. Division has completed a $4 million-plus expansion at its Avanti commercial printing plant here. With the expansion, the company was able to add a 38˝ Heidelberg (Goss) M-600 single-web press with a JF-50 folder, as well as realign and upgrade its bindery operation.

By adding the press alone, St. Ives Avanti will be able to add a dozen new jobs, and expects other positions to become available with expanded business, according to Gary Davis, executive vice president and general manager.
