Following the dawn of the “totally automated printing machine” in 1921, The Austin Company stood ready to build the most advanced printing facilities for their time. From “daylight” printing plants of the early 1900s to today’s state-of-the-art facilities, We have continued to offer insight into the ever-changing printing and publishing industry. In addition to design and construction services, our focused team also specializes in business consulting services including production process planning, equipment evaluation and selection, and distribution network design.

We employ the specific technical talent to provide expertise and knowledge during the critical strategic planning stages and throughout implementation. To ensure an efficient and cost-effective facility we design and engineer the facility “around” its daily operations and workflow. We partner with your team to ensure a seamless transition of operations into the new or renovated facility.

To meet the specialized requirements of the newspaper industry, our site location consultants use state-of-the-art methodologies for evaluating such critical factors as: transportation characteristics, including highway and rail access for newsprint deliveries and highway access for distribution vehicles; quality and reliability of utility services, including telecommunications; compatibility of neighboring land uses; land price; and proximity to employee amenities.
