The company, which traces its Chattanooga roots to 1902, is owned by Visant Corp. of Armonk, N.Y.
Arcade Marketing, which makes fragrance and cosmetics test samples in Chattanooga for magazines and advertising samplers, is expanding its Amnicola Highway footprint.
The company’s parent, Visant Corp., has purchased a 45,400-square-foot adjacent building on Amnicola where it plans to build office and laboratory space, said Bill Hoffman, Arcade’s vice president and general manager in Chattanooga.
Plans are to relocate about 45 employees from its East Main Street facilities, putting all of Arcade’s 240-person workforce at 3720 Amnicola Highway, he said.
“We’ll start renovation almost immediately,” Hoffman said.
