Yerecic Label has announced the addition of a new Mark Andy P7 printing press cell at its Arizona facility. This strategic investment strengthens production capabilities and enhances Yerecic Label’s ability to meet customer demand with speed and flexibility.

The press installation includes a 17” P7 Mark Andy flexo press, a Martin Automatic unwind stand, and a KTI turret rewinder designed to minimize press interruptions. E&L inspection equipment is also used for defect detection, supporting greater efficiency and precision.

“We approach every investment through the lens of continuous improvement,” states Josh Yerecic, EVP of Manufacturing. “The consistent growth at our Arizona facility made this press addition a natural next step – that reinforces our commitment to operational excellence, efficiency, and customer satisfaction. We’re now operating three shifts, 24/5, just like our Pennsylvania facility, allowing both locations to deliver the same level of strength, agility, and responsiveness. This expansion was part of a broader strategic plan to ensure our capacity and infrastructure stay ahead of future customer needs.”

Continued success

Jon Egbert, general manager of Yerecic Label’s Arizona facility, was one of the original team members who relocated from Pennsylvania to launch the site. With experience across both locations and a deep understanding of Yerecic Label’s operational culture, Egbert now leads the Arizona team with a strong commitment to service, innovation, and growth.

“This addition reflects the dedication of our team and the incredible partnerships we’ve built,” says Egbert. “It’s a direct result of the trust our customers place in us, and we’re proud to continue growing alongside them to support their business with reliability and responsiveness.”

Craig Black, SVP Equipment Sales at Mark Andy, also comments, “We are proud to continue our partnership with the team at Yerecic Label and be part of their continued success. It’s exciting to see the P7 flexo press being added to their fleet of existing Mark Andy equipment – the most productive flexo press in the market and perfect to support their expansion in Arizona.”

Yerecic Label continues to invest in people, processes, and equipment to deliver innovative label solutions that meet the fast-paced needs of the fresh food industry. This latest addition strengthens the company’s ability to Serve at the Speed of Fresh® from coast to coast.
