"Having been a finalist for the same two awards last year, it was nice to finally break through and get the win this year. We want to thank the Chamber for recognizing our efforts both locally and on a global scale," said VistaPrint's Windsor Plant Manager Paul Henderson.

"We're obviously very proud of our state-of-the-art manufacturing plant in Windsor, but this award also shows the strides that we have made in our efforts to expand globally," said Chief Operating Officer Wendy Cebula. "Our expansion in Windsor is just one example of the commitment VistaPrint has to becoming a transformational business institution."

VistaPrint first completed construction of its North American production facility in Windsor in June of 2005, but the plant has since been expanded to help meet the growing demand and company growth.
