The grand opening includes a ribbon cutting for the Pinellas Park facility, an annual awards ceremony, behind-the-scenes factory tours, interactive showroom displays, product demonstrations, food, entertainment and more.
Madico employs more than 200 people, with 75 new employees hired in 2019 as part of its growth initiatives. In 2017, Madico purchased the manufacturing facility in Pinellas Park, which is larger than the combined former locations in St. Petersburg, Florida and Woburn, Massachusetts.
Including the acquisition of the building, Madico has invested more than $40 million into the Florida site, yielding three coating and laminating lines along with a research center to support its growing product offering.
“We’ve come a long way since Madico was founded more than a century ago,” said Madico CEO Shawn Kitchell. “We’re looking forward to showcasing our new facility and our expanded capabilities to deliver advanced, innovative film solutions for a variety of industries. But most importantly, to celebrate the customers, dealers, partners and employees who have been the driving force behind our growth.”
