Midwest Single Source Expands Capacity

Midwest Single Source has made a $1 million investment to upgrade its printing equipment, and is looking to expand its digital services along with it.

Company president Kevin Ulwelling says the new equipment will enhance the company’s digital print quality and allow for more web-based printing. He says the new printer can deliver photo-quality images that have otherwise only been available from an offset printer.

Ulwelling says Midwest is evaluating its existing services to determine strengths and where efficiencies can be found. Midwest, Ulwelling says, will take its enhanced printing capabilities to market after the first of the year in 2014. The company also has added two full-time positions in production and rearranged some other positions to be able to accommodate anticipated production increases. Midwest runs three shifts throughout the week.

Ulwelling says Midwest has a ongoing equipment-lease agreement with Xerox, and terms of the new lease are being finalized. Midwest moved to the iGEN4 five years after installing the third-generation model in 2008. That, too, was a roughly $1 million investment.

Midwest is headquartered at 1501 E. 1st Street and has branch locations in Topeka, Kansas City and Oklahoma City.
