History

The company was first established by Tom and Rhonda Peed as Peed Corp. in 1978 in Webster City, Iowa. In 1985, the headquarters were relocated to a 68-acre (280,000 m2) campus in the Highlands neighborhood of Lincoln, Nebraska, where they remain. In June 2000, Sandhills added a data center in Scottsdale, Arizona. In 2011, the company completed another data center on its Lincoln, Nebraska campus,[9] a LEED Gold-rated building that houses the company's server farm and has three living roofs.[10]

The Lincoln campus expanded in 2015 with an additional IT facility.[11] In the same year, Sandhills worked with Goss International,[12] a company that supplies presses and finishing systems, to install a new press and saddle-stitcher to expand its printing operations.[13] In 2017, Sandhills announced the construction of the 42,000-square-foot (3,900-m2) Cyber Center facility,[14] which houses 240 employee workstations, a reception area and cafe space, classrooms, and other training facilities.[15] Sandhills opened an additional office location[16] in Sidney, Nebraska. In December 2017, Sandhills opened another new building, its sixth in Lincoln since 1985.
