Omni Systems opens new plant in Missouri

Omni Systems, one of the US's largest privately owned label manufacturers, has opened the Print Center of Excellence in St. Charles. The 64,000-square-foot facility is expected to create up to 100 new jobs in the area over the next several years.

Omni’s new Print Center of Excellence will focus production on custom-printed labels for the consumer-packaged goods industry on a national scale. The renovated plant features expansive floor space, state-of-the-art labeling capabilities and flexibility for future growth.

‘We are pursuing long-term legacy growth in the next five to seven years, and this expansion nearly quadruples our geographical footprint,’ said Mike Murton, president and COO of Omni Systems. ‘Being a privately held company with highly skilled employees provides us with unlimited growth potential, and St. Charles is the perfect location for Omni to continue to grow.’

Since the acquisition of ITW Labels in April 2023, the plant has grown to three times its original size and features innovative technologies, including Reverse Print Technology and an in-house platemaking department.

‘Our inventory management solutions include 10-color UV and flexo digital Mark Andy presses, and labels up to 20in wide,’ added Dean Ketchum, business development manager at Omni Systems. ‘Our goal is to soon have three shifts up and running, which will allow us to continue our growth trajectory and meet the demands of our customers.’

The company held an official ribbon-cutting ceremony June 11, which was attended by mayor Dan Borgmeyer and St. Charles regional chamber president and CEO Scott Tate. Borgmeyer presented Murton with keys to the city during the ceremony.

The new plant is located at 411 Fountain Lakes Blvd, St. Charles.
