Italian term or phrase: stabilimento grafico
Si sta parlando di un editore/una casa editrice.

La nuova sede direzionale è a fianco dello **stabilimento grafico** costruito nel 1977.

Non è specificato ma credo si intenda proprio gli impianti di stampa, dove avviene effettivamente la produzione del materiale stampato (rotative ecc).
Pensavo di usare uno di questi: "graphic/printing plants"
Cosa ne dite? Grazie :))

graphics/printing factory or graphics factory
Explanation:
Stabilimento is also defined as "factory." And, according to your description, perhaps "factory" would be a good possibility.


Here are some websites that helped me arrive at my answer:

Explanation:
If that's where the printing is done than this is your word.

sorry, "then" not "than".
You might prefer to say printing facility.

Beppe, it's up to you - both would be correct - but facility is probably sufficient to indicate a building.

Asker: Thanks Shera, what about the plural ".... facilities", giving it a larger shape, which might be the case here?

Asker: Ok, thanks Shera. :))

agree  philgoddard: I prefer "facility" - a press could be a single machine.

Explanation:
ciao Beppe, lavorando con studi grafici e stampatori, in inglese il termine in genere si traduceva così, ma anche quello che hanno detto gli altri è in uso.

Asker: Thanks Thomas, but in my text it really refers to the plants and premises next to the head office, and I have to use something that means them. Thank you for your suggestion.
