Paris Print Works Commits $1M to Expand Its Production Campus
Paris Print Works, a homegrown decorated-apparel manufacturer, is putting about $1 million into its Paris production campus, the kind of expansion that builds locally owned manufacturing capacity without a single new corporate headquarters announcement.
The Paris News reported October 18, 2026 that Paris Print Works will expand its Paris production campus with an investment of approximately $1 million in production facilities, equipment, and technology. The company, a custom screen printing, embroidery, and promotional products manufacturer based in Paris, has grown its decorated-apparel operation around a local workforce and an order book that now reaches well beyond Lamar County.
The expansion story is notable for what it is: an entrepreneur-led manufacturing investment that scales an existing building rather than requiring a greenfield site. Projects like this reuse local commercial and industrial space, add production jobs, and widen the county's manufacturing base without the lead time of a new industrial park build-out.
Manufacturing momentum keeps building
Paris Print Works joins a steady run of industrial investment in Lamar County. Ametsa Packaging expanded with a new bottling line in early 2026, Fusion Manufacturing opened its agri-equipment facility on US 82 West in March, and Universal Fabricating began operations in 2025. Training capacity is scaling with the demand: Paris Junior College added HVAC and industrial machinery equipment through state JET grants in 2026, feeding the same skills local manufacturers need.
For a market Paris's size, the pattern matters more than any single headline. Each expansion adds payroll, and payroll is what keeps lease demand, retail spending, and property values moving. The $1 million figure is modest against Huhtamaki's $85 million plant expansion, but it is exactly the kind of organic growth that compounds quietly across a county of 51,000 people.
The read for 1905 E Price St
Growing manufacturers expand into flex and warehouse space, and the 11,000+ SF building at 1905 E Price St offers the flexible floor plan and central location those growing businesses look for. The property's dual road frontage, office areas, commercial kitchen, and 12 private rooms with full baths give an operator options ranging from light production support to offices, training space, and staff housing, all within a trade area that keeps adding industrial payroll.
