Rows of Gaus Press Units at the Star Tribune’s Heritage Center Plant
Taken May 2023
The Star Tribune's Heritage Center Manufacturing Facility in Minneapolis held the Gaus Blue presses used to print the paper for decades, along with contract runs for other publications. The plant ceased printing operations on December 27, 2025, after the Star Tribune shifted production to a Gannett facility in Des Moines, Iowa.
