According to Fortis Solutions Group CEO John Wynne, the expansion is in line with the company’s aim to drive growth through customer-focused values.
Wynne said: “Our customers in the wine and spirits industries have repeatedly told us there is a need for a local, agile, high-quality, customer-focused printer.
“Rather than acquire an existing business, we were able to bring together a very strong team with extensive experience and build a facility from the ground up around our customer-centric values.
“In keeping with our national yet local approach, we found a great location in Napa from which to serve our local customers while also being able to offer an additional market segment to our national customers.”

The warehouse features in-house plate making, digital offset and flexographic printing processes and speciality secondary finishing options. It offers quick-turn label production solutions to designers and brand owners.
Kinzie said: “Both the winemaking and printing processes involve a unique blend of art and science.
“We are excited to bring an alternative label choice for the wine and spirits communities by operating as a boutique label provider on the front-end but backed by the depth of the Fortis culture and expertise, diverse production capabilities and strong supplier partnerships.”
