Stationery and Office Supplies will officially opens its newly completed SEEK book manufacturing and storage facility, on March 27. A landmark investment amounting to over $150 million, significantly expands the company’s production capacity as it enters a new phase of expansion and growth in its book production business.
Stationary & Office Supplies – Montego Bay office.
The new facility, located at 26 Collins Green Avenue, and close to the Stationery and Office Supplies offices on Beechwood Avenue, encompasses 8,000 square feet of dedicated manufacturing and storage space, built at a cost exceeding $150 million. The expansion increases SEEK’s operational floor space by 300 percent, providing the room needed to scale production, house new machinery, and build inventory buffers to support both local and regional demand. Management indicates that the plant has the capacity to supply Jamaica with the total needs of exercise books with capacity for export.
Following headwinds in the Books segment in 2025, revenues declined to $76 million from $106 million in 2024, due problems with machinery and disruption to sales due to damage caused by Hurricane Melissa in the western section of the island.
Stationery & Office Supplies new book making operation.
With new machinery now tested and staff fully trained, the company is already seeing a meaningful step-up in production volumes and improved unit economics as the facility scales up. The investment also aligns with SOS’s broader sustainability agenda in broadening the portfolio of products for sales locally and in the wider Caribbean.
Reduction in Seek sales during the year helped in keeping revenues for SOS to $23 million more than the $1.84 billion in 2024, with 2025 ending at $1.87 billion. Stationery and other items also contributed less revenues than in 2024, with sales slipping $65 million from $506 million to just $441 million in 2025.
