U-Haul Moves Graphics & Printing Facility To Bristol Twp.

U-Haul International has moved its decal graphics and printing facility to Bristol Township.

The Kar-Go Decal facility on Louise Drive in Warminster closed earlier this month and transferred operations to the new Bristol Graphics and Printing facility in the former PathMark store in the Bristol Plaza Shopping Center on Durham Road in Bristol Township.

The Bristol Graphics and Printing facility has opened a 55,000-square-foot plant in the shopping center next to the U-Haul storage and truck rental location that opened last year.

The facility will make decals and the printed sides for the orange and white rental trucks and trailers. The company said the new facility uses updated printing technologies compared to the older Warminster Kar-Go Decal location.

U-Haul International will employ about 60 full-time employees at the printing facility. More employees could be added during busy times, company officials said.  

“We are happy to bring life back to the building, especially since we were outgrowing our last facility. Our U-Haul fleet has expanded tremendously, and we are turning around more trucks and trailers every year that require decals,” said George Palovcak, president of Bristol Graphics and Printing.

AMERCO, the parent company of U-Haul International, purchased the 31-acre Bristol Plaza Shopping Center in 2016. The shopping center is mostly vacant and was considered for a new Walmart in 2014 but those plans fell through.

“We had become restricted at the previous space,” Palovcak said. “U-Haul imaging needs have grown exponentially. We need to be able to print to order so the field can get its personalized imaging requests filled as fast as possible. We’re very excited to open this new plant and be part of the Bristol community.”
