Jetrion Launches Expanded Operations at New Facility

Jetrion LLC, the wholly-owned industrial inkjet products and services subsidiary of Flint Group, launched operations in its new world headquarters in Ypsilanti, MI, which has more than three times the floor space of its previous site. Triple-digit growth in each of its first three years of operation fueled the company’s need for a larger facility.     
    
Jetrion’s new facility provides 35,000 square feet of floor area, much of it dedicated to the company’s major expansion of its inkjet ink manufacturing and system integration capacity to meet the growing demand for its products. Sales for the Jetrion 3025 UV Inkjet System for variable printing of barcodes, numbering, text and graphics on labels, tags, tickets, forms and plastic cards are expected to triple in 2006.

The facility includes a state-of-the-art inkjet ink manufacturing area for production of solvent, UV and water ink products, as well as ink and printer system development labs. The new Jetrion Demonstration Center includes Jetrion’s 3025 UV Inkjet System mounted directly on a Mark Andy flexo press; the new Jetrion 3025SA, a stand-alone inkjet label printer integrated into a label rewinder; and, coming soon, Jetrion’s 4000 Series full color inkjet label press.
    
The company’s sales and administration operations are now located in the building. Jetrion’s remaining R&D operations will also be relocated to the facility in the next few months. Jetrion holds an option for an additional 35,000 square feet for future expansion.
