A+ Printing Supports PoHi Internship Program

1/30/2025

Picture
Elizabeth Coffman, an intern at A+ Printing, has already made a big impact with her work, according to CEO Paige Winslow (pictured above). “She’s knocked it out of the park with some of her designs,” said Winslow. “She is such a talented artist. We handed over our social media marketing to her, and now she’s learning how to market products effectively.”
In addition to creating ads for the company’s social media accounts, Elizabeth has designed business cards, a newsletter for a marketing project, and a customer order pad that a client “just loved.”
Chad and Paige Winslow, owners of A+ Printing and Oklahoma Labels, noted that their shared production facility offers Elizabeth unique opportunities. She’s able to collaborate with different employees and designers, learning to use various software programs and machines for a wide range of projects. Soon, Elizabeth will work with their lead designer on building a new website, and she’ll also get hands-on experience designing labels and operating the label press machine.
Elizabeth is thrilled with the opportunity to be creative every day while learning new design software. Her only regret? Not starting her internship at A+ Printing earlier during her time at PoHi. Fortunately, Paige has been a strong mentor, offering Elizabeth advice and connecting her with resources at Pioneer Tech and NOC to help guide her next steps after graduation in May. For Elizabeth, the internship at A+ Printing has proven to be a perfect match, blending her passion for art and design with invaluable real-world experience.  See some of Elizabeth's designs for Oklahoma Labels and PoncaAPlus below.

Log10 LLC Acquires PCDA Spec Building, Solidifying Long-Term Commitment to Ponca City
Ponca City, OK — [1/22/25]

— The Ponca City Development Authority (PCDA) is pleased to announce that Log10 LLC, a microbiology lab specializing in the production of probiotics, has acquired the spec building it has called home since 2015. This milestone underscores Log10’s commitment to Ponca City and highlights the company’s significant contributions to the local economy and industrial ecosystem.

Log10 LLC, originally recruited to Ponca City by PCDA in 2015, found its initial home in a state-of-the-art spec building designed to attract manufacturing companies. Over the past decade, Log10 has transformed the building into a cutting-edge facility with more than $10 million invested in improvements, including specialized lab space, advanced equipment, and infrastructure upgrades. The company’s workforce has grown to approximately 25 employees, with positions offering competitive wages in high-demand scientific fields.

“Log10’s acquisition of the building is a testament to their confidence in Ponca City as a strategic location for their growth,” said Lori Henderson, Executive Director of PCDA. “This move reinforces our belief in the power of spec buildings to attract and retain innovative companies that drive economic progress.”

Log10’s expertise in microbiology and probiotics serves industries ranging from pet food to food manufacturing sanitation. Their presence has brought high-paying lab jobs to Ponca City, while their advanced capabilities enhance the industrial park’s ecosystem by attracting complementary businesses and fostering innovation.

A Proven Strategy for Growth
PCDA’s spec building program has been a cornerstone of its economic development strategy for over two decades. By constructing four spec buildings to date, PCDA has created opportunities for companies to establish and expand their operations in Ponca City. These facilities have become home to businesses that form the backbone of the community, contributing to job creation and economic diversification.

The latest addition to this program, the Duke spec building, was completed in July 2024. Spanning 39,000 square feet of manufacturing and office space, the Duke building has already garnered interest from several companies within and beyond Ponca City, further demonstrating the enduring value of PCDA’s proactive approach.
​
About Log10 LLC

Their products improve pet health, enhance food manufacturing processes, and promote environmental cleanliness.

Ponca City Development Authority Announces Incentive Contract with Century Products, LLC

The Ponca City Development Authority (PCDA) is proud to announce an incentive agreement with Century Products, LLC, a leading manufacturer of agricultural and livestock solutions. This collaboration will support Century Products' $2.5 million expansion project, which includes the acquisition of new equipment and the creation of 20 new jobs over the next three years.

Century Products was founded in 1993 in Shilder, Oklahoma, and relocated to Ponca City in 2021 under the leadership of Jay Fagan. Since the move, the company has experienced substantial growth, diversified its product lines, and expanded its workforce. In July 2023, Century Products acquired the former Smith Bits building, where they plan to consolidate their operations while retaining their current facility for storage.

The company's innovative approach to manufacturing has solidified its reputation as a trusted supplier in the agricultural industry. Century Products is best known for pioneering the first poly plastic feeder, a durable and weather-resistant solution for livestock feeding. Over the years, the company has continued to develop high-quality, long-lasting products that meet the evolving needs of the agricultural community.

“We are grateful for the support of the Ponca City Development Authority as we take this next step in our journey,” said Jay Fagan, owner of Century Products, LLC. “This expansion is not just about growing our business; it’s about investing in our community, creating jobs, and continuing to deliver the quality products our customers expect. Ponca City has been a great place to call home, and we look forward to what the future holds.”

The PCDA’s incentive contract is part of its ongoing mission to foster economic growth and create opportunities for businesses to thrive in Ponca City. This partnership with Century Products highlights the shared commitment to building a vibrant and sustainable local economy.

"Century Products' decision to expand in Ponca City is a testament to our community's supportive business environment and skilled workforce," said Lori Henderson, Executive Director, PCDA. "We are excited to support their growth and the economic benefits it will bring to our area."
