WPBN: The marketing-fulfillment company Encompass Elements, located in Pennsylvania, intends to combine its operations in Delaware, bringing with it 22 jobs from Lansdale and adding 31 new ones over a three-year period.
Currently employing 21 warehouse workers, the company is looking for a $252,100 state grant from the Council for Development Finance to fund its $3.2 million expansion and relocation at 1500 Johnson Way.
A $64,100 grant for capital expenditures is part of the request, and it probably also contains extra performance-based money for staff retention and relocation.
That information, however, was removed from the application after being requested under the Freedom of Information Act.
CFO Gene Pfeiffer stated, “We expect to move over the next six months, pending the grant request outcome.” With space for future growth, the company’s 150,000-square-foot New Castle building is twice as large as its Pennsylvania headquarters.
After 13 years of having separate facilities, the company will merge its operations, improving customer price and operational efficiency.
The women-owned company, which makes over $10 million a year, plans to move its top executives and hire local contractors to renovate its facilities.

Additionally, the company’s revenue will be moved to Delaware as a result of the expansion, bringing in additional gross receipts tax money for the state.
Order management, digital printing, fulfillment, direct mail, and inventory services are all offered by Encompass Elements. Its goal is to “allow clients to manage their marketing campaigns, showcase their brands, and increase its sales,” according to its website.
