PrinterLogic, a St. George based developer of serverless printing software, has broken ground on new headquarters, becoming the first company to locate to the Southern Utah city’s new Tech Ridge development. Located at the abandoned site of St. George’s former airport, Tech Ridge is being touted as the city’s home to technology industry companies.
PrinterLogic held a ceremony at the site last week attended by the company’s 125 local employees and their families, Utah Lt. Gov. Spencer Cox, St. George Mayor Jon Pike and other community officials. The new facility will be adjacent to the Dixie Technical College facility on Tech Ridge.
Rapid growth has led to workforce expansion, requiring PrinterLogic to look for a larger space to house its increasing headquarters operations in St. George, according to Ryan Wedig, the company’s CEO. PrinterLogic has offices in St. George; Raleigh, North Carolina; London, England; Frankfurt, Germany; and Sydney, Australia.
“Over the years St. George has proven to be rich soil for PrinterLogic as we’ve grown,” said Wedig, “Seven years ago, PrinterLogic was basically two guys with a startup budget and a great story to tell. Today we have almost 200 employees with customers and offices throughout the world.
“Tech Ridge validates what we have been saying for a long time: that you can build and sustain tech companies here. With Tech Ridge coming to fruition it’s a perfect opportunity for us to build. We’re honored to be part of this project and can’t wait to join our friends at Dixie Tech as anchors in the development. ” Wedig added.
The 150-acre Tech Ridge development was envisioned when the airport was relocated south of St. George in 2011. Since then, economic development officials have worked to prepare the site for a mix of business, residential and retail uses. Dixie Technical College opened its 30-acre campus on the site in March 2018.
