Kerley Ink moved to its present location at the 12th Ave plant in Broadview in 1967 from the old location on the West Side of Chicago on Van Buren Street. Since then, the 12th Ave plant has been configured to make mainly black inks, black bases and some varnishes. Broadview is situated about 9 miles (15 km) west of downtown Chicago. Production capacity at this plant exceeds 10 million lbs (4,5 million kg) annually. Peak electrical consumption at this location can top 500,000 watts.
