Three Z Printing Adds Goss M-500 to its Fleet

With the backdrop of snow-capped mountains in the distance, customers of Hudson Printing in Salt Lake City entered the commercial printer's 120,000-sq.-ft. facility on May 5 for its first-ever open house. The event was intended to give attendees a tour of the facility, as well as a peek at the company's new Landa S10P nanographic printing press with perfector, which has been up and running since November 2021. Although seeing the Landa S10P running in person was a major draw during the event, Hudson Printing also announced that the 113-year-old company would in fact be installing a second Landa S10P later this year. Paul Hudson, CEO of Hudson Printing, explained that the company does a large amount of personalization printing, an area in which the Landa press has proven to be a success.

TC Transcontinental announces the sale of its industrial packaging operations to Hood Packaging Corporation for a price of US$95 million (about C$132 million1) subject to working capital adjustments. These operations generated approximately US$50 million (about C$68 million2) in revenues during the last twelve months ended July 28, 2024. The Corporation anticipates using the net proceeds to continue reducing net debt in line with its business priorities. This will increase its flexibility in capital allocation, including targeted acquisitions in growth segments. “Industrial packaging is a solid business. However, after operating it for several years, we concluded that it offers few synergies with the rest of our portfolio, and is not core to our Packaging Sector’s growth strategy,” said Thomas Morin, President and Chief Executive Officer of TC Transcontinental. “We are pleased for our employees that Hood Packaging, a family-controlled company like TC Transcontinental whose industrial packaging business is core to their activities, is the buyer.” Hood Packaging is acquiring TC Transcontinental’s Thomasville, North Carolina, packaging operations and building, and 138 employees are being transferred. Hood Packaging is also acquiring the industrial packaging business of TC Transcontinental’s Ontario, California plant, which represents approximately 15% of this plant’s revenues. Roop Nangia, Senior Vice President, Consumer & Beverage, TC Transcontinental Packaging, added: “We sincerely thank all of our talented employees for their contribution, commitment and performance.”
