Martin County, USA, 26 Jul, 2024. IM GROUP (formerly Inkmaker Group) has announced its latest expansion of its operations in North America, moving from Jensen Beach in Martin County, Florida to larger premises within the same area.

The move comes after a surge in business in the region, just ten months after the opening of the engineering-technology group’s North American Headquarters, at an exclusive joint event with the Business Development Board of Martin County (BDBMC). The new premises, over 3 times larger than its previous one, will serve as the new central hub for the group's manufacturing operations, sales, customer service, and maintenance operations for North America, Canada, and Latin America. 
 

“The close proximity to our previous location has facilitated logistics and the larger facility will allow us to increase our manufacturing capacity to meet the growing demand from our customers. Additionally, we will now be able to ship in large, specialised machinery such as the innovative Plusmill Evo from our sister company, IEC+, which is already setting new benchmarks in pigment processing with its unique Cowles-Impeller Technology. More details on this will be revealed soon,” disclosed IM GROUP’s General Manager for the Americas, Mr. Enrico Mattiazzi, “I would also like to express my gratitude to the Business Development Board of Martin County (BDBMC) for their assistance in finding and securing this ideal site.”
