Xeikon executives were joined by Elgin mayor Dave Kaptain, Elgin Area Chamber of Commerce president and CEO Carol Gieske and Economic Development group director Tony Lucenko for a gala ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The new 350 River Ridge Road facility is located within Elgin’s Prologis business park. It underwent a floor-to-ceiling renovation to Xeikon’s specifications. Eighty percent of the 39,000sqft of space is dedicated to customer support functions, including the company’s Innovation Center, which offers customers expanded demonstration and training capabilities, both virtually and in person.
The Innovation Center features Xeikon dry toner, UV-IJ printer serving the print and packaging industries within the food, beverage, beer, wine and spirits, health, beauty, pharmaceutical, agriculture, and nutraceutical industries, as well as the commercial print/graphic arts industries.
In addition to the production equipment, Xeikon’s NA headquarters will showcase the company’s software and provide improved warehousing and office space.
‘Customer needs continue to evolve, and a company must be adaptive and agile to remain competitive,’ said Benoit Chatelard, CEO of Xeikon. ‘This new facility was designed and developed with that in mind.’
All 60 employees housed at the company’s previous offices in Itasca have elected to move to the Elgin location. Much of the Xeikon America workforce is virtual, working from their homes and other areas across the United States and Canada.
