Manufacturing is still one of the greatest costs in an organization. But in the current business environment, what separates you from your competitors is your complete supply chain.

In the late '90s, manufacturing was looked at as a cost to be controlled. It wasn't looked at strategically.

Our core skill is printing variable data onto products at high speed in the manufacturing environment.

Export volumes and manufacturing output are playing more important roles in affecting the business mood.

The Zanesville plant is one of six manufacturing facilities for All American Homes nationwide. Our Zanesville facility opened in July 1998, employs 175 people, and builds 250 to 300 homes per year. It serves 75 independent builders who cover a radius of about 250 miles from Zanesville.

We will be evaluating that (a manufacturing base) as we move forward and our business grows.
