Cardinal Brands to cease Topeka operations by 2008
Cardinal Brands plans to consolidate Topeka manufacturing with its Independence Missouri center, cutting about 60 local jobs and moving 65 Topeka positions to Mexico this summer. The new Kansas City area center should be established by end of March 2008, as remaining Topeka staff shrinks to roughly 15 engineers and IT personnel.

Kingston Printing moves to Eudora in expansion plan
Kingston Printing Inc. owner Dick Johnson closes on a 40 000 square foot former M Pact Worldwide plant at 1310 Kistler Drive in Intech Park Eudora. The move doubles Kingston’s space, adds a new jobs base for 24 workers eight miles from current Delaware Street sites, and supports growth for clients including Kansas University Hill's Pet Nutrition and Callahan Creek. Johnson cited space constraints and a stalled Lawrence expansion search as the driver behind relocating to the eastern edge of town.
