are two new servo controlled rewind/ inspection units equipped with 100 per cent inspection capabilities. Elsewhere in the facility, press rooms have been made more spacious, with setup areas significantly enlarged for more efficient and safer press operation, as well as easier materials movement. Finally, in the facility’s warehousing


space, the expansion provides room for larger inventories of both raw and finished


goods, and the ability to dedicate multiple loading docks to both inbound and outbound freight. Both benefits serve to help streamline the facility by improving overall work flow. Occupying the additional floorspace will be several newly hired press operators, rewind operators, prepress technicians, and factory assistants. As Luminer looks to bolster its workforce for the future while addressing a nationwide shortage of press operators, Luminer has hired several individuals giving people new to the industry a chance to build careers in the printing/ converting business. “The expansion exemplifies Luminer’s most significant growth spurt in recent years, particularly in extended content labels for the clinical trial and pharmaceutical sectors – a niche where our versatility increasingly serves as a key differentiator,” says Tom Spina, president and CEO of Luminer. “The additional space gives us ample room for new equipment, broadened capabilities and, of course, future growth as we make continued headway into various markets.”
