Supremex Announces Q2 2023 Results

Second Quarter Financial Highlights and Recent Events

  • Total revenue increased by 14.6% to $71.7 million, from $62.5 million in the second quarter of 2022.
  • Envelope segment revenue up 7.3% to $49.3 million, from $45.9 million in the prior year.
  • Packaging and specialty products segment revenue of $22.4 million, up 34.7% from $16.6 million last year.
  • Net earnings were $2.1 million, compared to $7.4 million last year.
  • Acquisition on May 8, 2023 of Graf-Pak Inc. (“Graf-Pak”), a provider of folding carton packaging solutions located in the province of Quebec.
  • Appointment of François Bolduc as Chief Financial Officer of the Company, effective July 4, 2023.

“Our second quarter results reflect the temporary effect of inventory adjustments by certain customers and lower demand from sectors more affected by inflation and interest rate levels,” said Stewart Emerson, President & CEO of Supremex. “The first half of 2023 was a very busy period, especially for our Packaging operations, as we consolidated a significant portion of our folding carton activities under one roof in Lachine while also integrating two acquisitions. Our Envelope business continued to generate a solid free cash flow which allowed us to fund our expansion and reduce debt by $3.1 million this past quarter.”

“Although disappointed with the transitory profitability reduction in Packaging, we are excited with the significant potential of the Lachine facility. Its considerable footprint will enable us to further expand folding carton production to better meet additional demand from this growing market. In this regard, the Graf-Pak operations have been successfully merged into Lachine and we continue to assess initiatives to further optimize efficiency and achieve synergies by leveraging available capacity,” concluded Mr. Emerson.

Hagg Press Adds Second RMGT Press in Four Years as Steady Growth Continues (whattheythink.com)

Graphco, distributor of the leading 8-UP sheetfed press in the Midwest and Southeast, has delivered another fully automated RMGT offset press to Hagg Press in Elgin, Illinois. This time an RMGT 970ST+LED installation continues the Graphco/Hagg Press relationship which began in 2018, when a new 40-inch RMGT 10 Series press was purchased as the first step in modernizing the firm’s print platform. “We knew we needed to change out our old presses,we just weren’t sure what brand was the best for our business,” states Jordan Hagg, President of Hagg Press. The first RMGT 10 Series press picked up the volume formerly produced by one 28” and two 40” presses from Komori and Manroland. Hagg’s print volume grew significantly during the first few years after the new press came online. “Half of our RMGT years took place during the pandemic, but growth has basically been thrust on us by our existing customers and several new major accounts that came our way. I think our print quality, fair pricing, and the fact we rarely miss a deadline makes Hagg Press an attractive source,” Hagg comments. “We’re glad we picked the RMGT press from Graphco.”
