CONCORD, NH—With the acquisition of a Heidelberg Polar 155 XT cutter, Concord Litho Group completed the initial investment in the company's new in-house bindery, established in September of 2002. The company invested more than $1.6 million in the new operation, adding 30 new positions. The cutter was expected to be fully operational by June 1. Prior to adding the new capabilities, Concord Litho had outsourced its off-line bindery needs for 44 years.
