Print-on-demand company plans to add 400 new positions as company grows
Stakes Manufacturing, a digital print-on-demand (POD) company specializing in the printing and fulfillment of premium apparel for the sports, entertainment, and retail markets, is expanding in Eastlake to meet the just-in-time demands of the rapidly expanding e-commerce industry. With plans to add 400 new jobs and 80,000 square feet of space, the company will increase production and fulfillment activities to take advantage of Northeast Ohio’s talent, supply chain, and market access.
“We are very excited for the opportunity to continue to grow our business in the Northeast Ohio area. The area’s talent, resources, and spirit of innovation is what continues to drive the productivity and growth of our business,” said Stakes Manufacturing CEO, Vincent Bartozzi.
An economic team including the city of Eastlake, the Ohio Development Services Agency, JobsOhio and Team NEO is working closely with Stakes management to ensure a smooth, successful expansion and successful recruitment efforts.
“The city of Eastlake appreciates Stakes Manufacturing’s ongoing investment here and their continued growth,” said Mayor Dennis Morley. “We look forward to working with them as a great community partner in our city.”
“Like so many innovative manufacturers, Stakes Manufacturing looks at Northeast Ohio and sees significant, long-term growth potential for their company,” added Team NEO CEO Bill Koehler. “Manufacturing accounts for 20 percent of Northeast Ohio’s gross domestic product, and for good reason. Our region offers a supportive business environment, logistical and supply chain efficiencies, and a skilled, committed workforce.
