Transcontinental to combine printing, direct marketing locations in Toronto
By Adnews Staff
Montreal-based Transcontinental plans to combine its commercial printing and direct-marketing facilities Toronto by the end of September. The lease at one location will expire at that time, so the equipment there will be transferred to the company’s Transcontinental Direct Toronto location. According to the company, the majority of the 50 employees at the old location will also be making the move. The Direct Toronto facility currently has 225 employees. Twenty-three staff at the two locations were given notice yesterday. According to Guy Manuel, president of the company’s marketing products and services division, the decision “was made strictly on the basis of a sound business case to keep Transcontinental competitive and thereby protect the maximum number of jobs in the company as a whole.”
