Church of Scientology Opens New In-plant
The decision to create such a large printing operation was not made lightly. The church did an extensive analysis of current and future volumes, including its plan to expand its publications into 50 languages. (Magazines are currently printed in 17 languages.) The study concluded that the church would not only save a significant amount of money by printing in-house, it would be able to control its printing schedule, rather than being at the mercy of outside printers.
