But as I understand the history, it is not common but it does happen on occasion,” Bouchard said.The section of Lisbon Street near Dingley Press, which is part of Route 196, was closed to traffic until about noon.Dingley Press was founded in Lewiston nearly 100 years ago. The company made moves to Portland and Freeport before settling into its current location in Lisbon in 1981. Dingley Press said its Lisbon building puts the company in close proximity to some of the largest paper mills in the United States and Canada, which translates to lower shipping costs and savings on paper.According to the company’s website, Dingley Press has more than 500 dedicated employees and ranks among the largest catalog printers in the United States. Dingley Press said it completed a $17 million expansion in 2017 to add capacity.
