SCREEN Americas celebrated its official relocation from Rolling Meadows to Elk Grove Village, IL, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Ken Ingram, president of SCREEN Americas, cut the ribbon in the Inkjet Innovation Center, the 14,000-plus-square-foot area which has come to be known as the centerpiece of the new facility and the room in which customers will engage in SCREEN Americas’ technology for the commercial, publishing, direct mail, transactional, packaging, folding carton and label industries.
The ceremony was followed by a complete tour of the 48,000-square-foot facility given by Mark Schlimme, VP of marketing for SCREEN Americas. In addition to the Inkjet Innovation Center, guests had a peek at the prepress room, office space, executive suites, guest lounge and warehouse.
“We are grateful that we can utilize this wonderful location as a base for innovation and communication with our stakeholders,” said Takanori Kakita, president of SCREEN Graphic Solutions Co., Ltd. in Japan. “SCREEN GA Group’s motto is to ‘Create a Future in Print’ through the success of its customers. The American market is one of the most important regions for us and we look forward to having the Inkjet Innovation Center as a hub in North America to promote the synergy of cutting-edge technology and innovation as we create valuable solutions for our customers.”
