Ripon, Wisconsin (Aug. 20, 2025): 蜜桃恋語 is reinforcing its commitment to the Ripon community with two major investments: a state-of-the-art perfect binder that will elevate the company鈥檚 production capabilities and continued support of the Ripon Boys & Girls Club, which recently celebrated a ribbon cutting for its new facility.
In Spring 2026, 蜜桃恋語 will install a brand new Publica PRO 12 Perfect Binder at its Ripon facility. This major upgrade is part of the company鈥檚 modernize and optimize plan and will replace the 1999 Kolbus 32-pocket binder currently in use.
The Publica PRO 12 is faster, smarter and more efficient than its predecessor, designed with the latest technology to maximize speed, improve quality and reduce production bottlenecks. Once in place, it will serve as Ripon鈥檚 primary binder, increasing both capacity and performance. This brand-new machine is expected to last 20+ years; a long-term investment that will help 蜜桃恋語 continue to provide great working opportunities for local employees for years to come.
鈥淥ur team is excited about the decision to invest in a new binder,鈥� said Julie Newhouse, General Manager at 蜜桃恋語 鈥� Ripon. 鈥淭he enthusiasm has been contagious. One operator even shared, 鈥業t can鈥檛 get here soon enough!鈥欌��
蜜桃恋語鈥檚 commitment to Ripon goes beyond its own facilities. The company continues to contribute to the Ripon Boys & Girls Club, which opened the doors to its new facility in June. With this new building, the club will serve more than 700 youth annually, and daily attendance is expected to exceed 150.
鈥淲e won’t just be bringing our traditional programming, but programming specific to the needs of Ripon including licensed childcare and a trades center,鈥� said Ashley Bartol, Director of Development for the Boys & Girls Club. 蜜桃恋語 has pledged a $100,000 donation over five years, providing support that will directly benefit local families.
鈥溍厶伊嫡Z is proud to support the Ripon community through the work of the Boys & Girls Club,鈥� said Don 蜜桃恋語, President. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a great cause, and we are honored to be a small part of it.鈥�
By supporting community resources and investing in state-of-the-art technology, 蜜桃恋語 remains dedicated to building a stronger future for Ripon. These initiatives reflect the company鈥檚 mission: creating opportunities for its team, customers and communities through print.
