Published May 10, 2017 by Jessica Sabbath

IR Engraving announced Wednesday it will expand its operations in Henrico Conty, creating 22  jobs.

The company plans to spend $850,000 on the expansion.

IR Engraving designs and builds engraved rolls and plates, gravure rolls and custom machinery.

“We are excited at the opportunities available since we acquired the business from Standex last summer, returning the company to its privately-held roots,” IR Engraving President Matthew Pursel said in a statement. “Now, as an entrepreneurial business with 100 employees… we are once again poised to aggressively grow with our customers.”

The Virginia Economic Development Partnership will support the company’s expansion through the Virginia Jobs Investment Program, which provides consulting and funding to companies creating new jobs or retraining companies on new technology.
