2023 has been an amazing year of expansion and growth. Brown and BrownDigital have expanded in personnel, product lines and facilities and we are already busting at the seams.
In the summer we added a Crown to our life. A building on Crown anyway. This doubled our production space and allowed for larger projects to expand. Our staff was thrilled with having more room to work in and spaces they could call their own. This building added 3 overhead loading doors, 4 docks and way too many offices.
The Brown product line expanded into their space with the ability to put up many machines at the same time which allows for additional testing and product development. Yes, there are some cool new features in the works. It also allowed for the development of a larger ElectraPrint machine that should be introduced in 2024. The other feature that has sparked the growth of our Brown business is custom colors. Our local high school is all blue and orange. Go Rockets!
BrownDigital software developed many additions to the Linx suite. Inventory, product fixers, purchasing as well as new connections to other platforms. The diversity of this product line gives solutions to most POD production issues and it applies to a diverse area of application. That software team has been gettin' it done.
The BrownDigital machine team is amazing. The flagship FireFly product line has bloomed to a myriad of applications. From the initial design of individualized curing, this has transitioned into a workhorse for applications from screen print to pretreat to DTG to wide format. The diversity of possibilities is very exciting. The Digital Line product for Brother International has opened additional opportunities for the FireFly and all the components involved.
What is so interesting about our new facility is that it has allowed for bigger items to spread their wings and for the Brown staff to take ownership of specific products and make that section of the building all their own. Our software team developed an internal Linx IC that has allowed for easy communication and information sharing within all facilities and our partners. We expect that software to broaden our reach for direct contact with our customer.
Thank you for your investment into Brown and BrownDigital in 2023. All of these changes excite us to create new products, adjust existing ones and grow into new areas. We are excited about 2024 and what that will bring.
