National marketing collateral, fulfillment firm chooses Delaware to consolidate and expand
Encompass Elements plans to create 31 new jobs and upgrade current New Castle site into new headquarters.
- Wilmington-Newark, DE-MD (1888PressRelease) December 12, 2024 - Pennsylvania-based direct mail and fulfillment services company Encompass Elements has chosen to consolidate and expand operations at a site in New Castle, Delaware, where it has operated for more than 20 years.
Encompass Elements is a Certified Women’s Business Enterprise operating from its current headquarters in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, and its secondary location in Delaware. It manufactures marketing collateral and provides direct mail, product sampling, over-the-counter fulfillment and other services to pharmaceutical, retail, insurance and direct mail clients. For its consolidation and expansion, the company plans to invest $3.2 million in construction fit-out, including site upgrades and installation of new and relocated equipment, at its existing 152,000-square-foot facility at 1500 Johnson Way in New Castle.
“We are excited that Encompass Elements, a longtime Delaware and woman-owned company, will expand here in our state,” said Governor John Carney. “I look forward to seeing Encompass Elements continue to succeed and create good-paying jobs in Delaware.”
For Encompass Elements, which President and Chief Executive Officer Mary Fox Donnelly grew from a small screen-printing company, consolidation of operations is a strategic move supporting growth. The company currently manufactures in both locations and often transports products from one to the other. Consolidating into one site will enable it to reduce expenses, streamline processes, enhance capabilities and offer clients faster turnaround times and more competitive pricing.
Joining the company’s 21 full-time employees already in New Castle will be 22 full-time employees from Pennsylvania and, over the next few years, 31 new positions. Jobs new to Delaware will include lettershop and print machine operators and managers; customer service representatives; executive, management and administrative professionals; and marketing fulfillment and warehouse associates.
“Congratulations to Encompass Elements on its decision to grow in Delaware,” said New Castle County Executive Matt Meyer. “The company has been a valued member of the New Castle County business community for more than 20 years, and we look forward to their expansion and the new job opportunities it will bring to our area.”
Delaware Prosperity Partnership collaborated with Encompass Elements for several years as the company explored its options. On Monday, DPP supported the company’s request to the state Council on Development Finance for a Jobs Performance Grant of up to $188,000 and a Capital Expenditure Grant of up to $64,100 from the Delaware Strategic Fund. Distribution of these grant monies is dependent on the company meeting commitments as outlined to the CDF, which reviewed and approved Encompass Elements’ request for up to $252,100 in total funding.
“We’re excited about the opportunities that consolidating into Delaware brings to the company,” said Encompass Elements Chief Operations Officer Bill Scannapieco. “This move allows us to take advantage of Delaware’s business-friendly environment, helping to strengthen our operations and support our continued growth.”
