Syracuse Label and Surround Printing is already outgrowing its 2-year old home in North Syracuse.

The company continues to grow so fast the plan is to expand by about one-third in the Spring.

It’s a far cry from the small printing operation that started about 50 years ago in a Liverpool garage.

Syracuse Label and Surround Printing President Kathy Alaimo says, “All of our workforce has grown up here, they’re all local, Central New York residents and together we’ve been able to learn and grow in this industry and make our mark.”

Clinton’s Ditch Cooperative, a Cicero company that makes one of the most well-known products around the world, is celebrating 50 years in business.

The plant pumps out Pepsi and other carbonated and non-carbonated products.

The plant has nearly 200 employees, and constant assembly line of bottles crisscrossing overhead– a long way from Clinton Ditch’s origins 50 years ago.

“We had one package of cans and that was six-pack and that’s all we made,” said Tom Miller, the plant manager.

Millert wasn’t there at the very beginning, but not long after this cooperative formed in Ciceor, it was named after the 150th anniversary of the Erie Canal in 1967, nicknamed Clinton’s Ditch.

“There was 18 different New York State PepsiCo bottlers back in the mid-60’s and cans were coming into play so they all couldn’t afford to do it themselves, so they got together threw in some money and created one place to do all their can technologies,” Millert said.

With a new vision to keep the company competitive, the Bausch + Lomb Rochester plant is expanding and creating new jobs.

As one of Rochester’s oldest companies, Joe Hart, Bausch’s site operations executive director, admitted the company, along with the city, has had its ups and downs with ownership changes and job cuts.

“Rochester has always struggled to get investment in it, especially since Bausch Health that was (formerly) Valeant that took over,” Hart said.

Contact lens manufacturer Bausch & Lomb has announced an expansion of its production facilities in Waterford in a move that is likely to lead to around 100 new jobs.

Most of New York’s deer-vehicle collisions occur October-December.  The New York State Department of Transportation, aware of the greater potential for accidents involving deer or moose during autumn, wants to educate travelers on how to stay safe on our roads.

Rochester, N.Y.—Local IT consulting and services provider iV4 has been named among the globe’s Top 100 Public Cloud Managed Service Providers (MSPs) of 2018 by ChannelE2E.

The award is given to leading MSPs in the Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud Platform ecosystems based on criteria analyzing annual recurring revenues and growth rate, cloud provider certifications and third-party honors.

Based in Rochester and Syracuse with customers throughout the Northeast, iV4 is the only firm headquartered in Upstate New York to make the list and is among 54 companies in the United States. iV4 CEO Mike Spoont attributes the organization’s placement on the list to the firm’s depth of expertise in Microsoft Azure and overall growth within the last year.

“We’re extremely proud to have received this distinction from ChannelE2E and be recognized on its Top 100 Public Cloud MSPs list,” Spoont said. “Over the last year, our team has worked diligently to expand our expertise in assessing, migrating and deploying cloud solutions and services. This ranking speaks to our commitment to partnering with our clients to deliver comprehensive solutions that help them overcome their IT challenges and drive digital transformation within their organizations.”

Since 2017, iV4 has expanded its footprint to include Buffalo and increased its revenues by almost 40 percent, with much of that attributed to its rapidly growing cloud solutions practice. Due to this growth, in 2018 the company added 14 additional staff members, including the creation of a dedicated cloud team.

In addition to its placement on ChannelE2E’s Top 100 Public Cloud MSPs, iV4 has been recognized as a Top 200 Microsoft Solutions Provider, Microsoft Partner of the Year and Cloud Partner of the Year and named to CRN’s Next Gen 250 list.
