Ranking of the Largest In-plants
Each year, we survey North America’s largest in-plants with the goal of ranking them by size. It is not an easy task. Many corporations are no longer willing to share information about their internal departments, so several very large in-plants in manufacturing, insurance, retail, and other industries are not on our list. And while we added a few new names this year, several in-plants we’ve listed for years opted not to participate this time or to only submit employee counts.
That said, these lists still provide a good look at some of the largest in-house printing operations, broken down by:
- Full-time-equivalent employees: We added half of each in-plant’s part-time/temporary employee count to the full-time figure.
- Annual sales: If a sales figure was not provided, we ranked according to the annual operating budget.
We have also analyzed trends at the largest in-plants and included data on their use of AI, services they provide, revenue increases, major challenges, equipment upgrade plans, and more.
