Tour Valpak’s Manufacturing Center:Friday, September 24th from 2:30-4:00P.M.

Valpak, North America’s leading direct marketer has built one of the most advanced and

automated manufacturing centers in the world. The new state-of-the-art manufacturing center

located in St. Petersburg, Florida is a hub of technology where automation and robotics is at the core of

the operation.

* Occupying nearly 500,000 square feet of space
* Able to house approximately 13 Boeing 747 airliners
* The $200+ million building features a global list of suppliers and partners

To improve Valpak’s leading position, a dramatic change was necessary to help sustain the company’s

long term outlook. With the support of its parent company, Cox Enterprises, CTM set out to design a

premier manufacturing facility that would achieve its business model and meet its growth needs.

The facility is one of the largest single capital investments in Cox’s 107-year history.

Tour Note: Plan to arrive by 2:15 P.M. to get a security pass.
