STEVENS POINT – Worzalla celebrated the completion of its modernization and expansion plan, with a virtual ribbon cutting.

In October 2019, Worzalla declared it would be investing $12.5 million in new machinery and capital improvements to the company’s Stevens Point headquarters.

“In Worzalla’s long history, we have always adapted and evolved to be leaders in our industry and deliver for our customers,” said Jim Fetherston, president and CEO. “We’re proud to celebrate this milestone and the completion of the modernization and expansion plan as we look ahead to the next 125 years.”

The modernization plan included the addition of 50,000 square feet to Worzalla’s manufacturing headquarters and the addition of a new Heidelberg 106 press and a Kolbus perfect binder.

Worzalla currently prints titles from large publishers, including Disney Books, Abrams, Simon and Schuster, Hachette, Penguin Random House, HarperCollins, and others. Worzalla is best known for being the domestic manufacturer of the popular Diary of a Wimpy Kid series.

Due to quicker make-readies, enhanced efficiency, and increased reliability, Worzalla expects to achieve at least a 30 percent increase in production levels. Worzalla is also adding 50 new positions touching all aspects of the book manufacturing process.
