Direct-Mail Firm To Open Facility

A 95,000-square-foot production facility in the Dallas-Fort Worth area is to be built by CC3, Ivyland, Pa., a national provider of traditional and on-line direct marketing services, to meet clients' growing needs and extend its services to the central U.S.

The facility, to be operational by year-end, is expected to expand the company's national production capacity to 700,000 square feet and enable CC3 to produce and distribute up to three billion pieces of mail annually. The plant will house continuous and cut-sheet laser printers with duplex and MICR capabilities; multicolor sheetfed, UV, and heatset web offset presses; and high-speed, intelligent inserters with ink-jet stations.

Nearly 250 jobs within the local community are expected to be added during the next year.

While the national direct-mail industry growth rate is projected to be 7.1% this year, CC3 managers predict a compound growth rate of 30% in 2003 for the company.
