Arthur Blank Reports Record Year

Last year, Boston-based Arthur Blank & Co. reported a significant increase in both employment and plant expansion. The company also reported a 15 percent increase in demand for plastic card manufacturing, putting the facility on an around-the-clock schedule for more than half the year.

As a result of heightened sales, Arthur Blank increased its staff by more than 30 percent and expanded its manufacturing facility to 80,000 square feet--remaining the largest single plastic card production facility in North America. As part of the expansion, a short-run department was also added.
