Fisher Group Inc., the holding company for several companies in the sign supply, label printing and plastic fabricating sectors, has moved its operations into an 83,000-square-foot facility on the northwest side of Salt Lake City, nearly doubling its cubic feet of capacity for the manufacturing, storage and distribution of its products, the company said in a release last week. This is the first move for the company in 50 years, the release said.
Fisher Group’s subsidiaries include Regional Supply, Plastic Fabricating and American Label. Regional Supply specializes in wholesale distribution to large- format digital printers, screen printers, commercial sign makers and installers and a wide variety of plastics users. American Label specializes in adhesive-backed labels as well as flexible packaging and Plastic Fabricating specializes in thermoforming, CNC routing and specialty fabricating of plastic products.
Regional Supply began in 1946 as a four-person electric motor repair shop in Salt Lake City founded by Art Mendenhall and called Regional Electric Works. By 1951 Regional Supply had expanded into a sign supply business and into plastics by 1959. Eventually the company included the three distinct businesses that it operates today.
“We’re proud of our history and our steady growth over many decades,” said David Fisher, president and CEO of Fisher Group. “When it came time to move from our previous location, we were thrilled to settle into this larger facility within Salt Lake City where all three companies could be housed under one roof. It’s a newly renovated building with higher ceilings and more cubic feet that gives us a very comfortable environment in which to work.”
Fisher Group also owns Vinyl Outlet in Salt Lake City and Regional Supply Alaska in Anchorage.
