Jones Building Expansion

De Pere, WI - Jones Sign Co. has begun a $7 million expansion in the Town of Lawrence that will double the size of its building and, eventually, its work force. The company is adding 105,338 square feet of manufacturing space to its 110,00-square-foot plant at U.S. 41 and Scheuring Road. Company President John Mortensen said employment eventually will reach about 300, double the current work force. The addition will allow increased manufacturing of custom lighted signs and in-house LED-sign assembly. It also will be used for grand-format digital printing operations. Mortensen said the new equipment will allow them to print signs 20 feet wide. They can print 4-foot widths now. The project is scheduled for completion by the end of December.
