VANCOUVER—

OEC Graphics, a family-owned company focused in pre-media, flexo-platemaking, facilities management, display graphics and brand management, has opened OEC Vancouver.

With headquarters at 905 South Perkins Street Appleton, WI, this is the company’s first time setting up a manufacturing facility outside of the U.S.

“OEC is thrilled to have a Canadian operation,” Brad Vette, corporate director of business development, said. "We have had a vested interest in Western Coastal Canada with some long-term partners in the region, so it made sense for us to make further investment.”

The new facility is located on Mitchell Island in Richmond, B.C. and offers various OEC specialties, including graphics coordination, full-service platemaking, and corrugated mounting services to service the Greater Pacific Northwest market.
