The Star Tribune's Heritage Center Manufacturing Facility in Minneapolis houses the presses and finishing equipment that print and assemble the newspaper. Overhead conveyors carry sections through the building to machines that collate, insert, and prepare each edition for distribution. The plant also prints other publications, including USA Today and the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
