TC Transcontinental steps up and opens a vaccination centre against COVID-19 in Montréal’s Rivière-des-Prairies – Pointe-aux-Trembles borough

TC Transcontinental (TSX: TCL.A TCL.B) is proud to respond to the Québec government’s call for businesses to support the health and social services network in its COVID-19 vaccination campaign. According to the order of priority established by public health, the company will offer the supervised vaccination to the local population, TC Transcontinental employees and their families starting at the end of May.

The company’s vaccination centre will be in Montréal’s Rivière-des-Prairies–Pointe-aux-Trembles borough, given TC Transcontinental’s significant presence in the East end of Montreal. It will be located at the head office of the company’s Distribution activities at 8000 Blaise-Pascal Avenue, Rivière-des-Prairies, close to the Transcontinental Transmag (printing – Anjou), Transcontinental Recycling Montreal (packaging – Anjou) and Transcontinental Flexipak (packaging – Pointe-aux-Trembles) plants.

“We were very enthusiastic about participating in the collective vaccination effort when the call to businesses went out to support the Quebec government and public health authorities,” said François Olivier, President and Chief Executive Officer of TC Transcontinental. “This mobilization is part of our campaign to raise awareness of the importance of vaccination among our employees and is in addition to the measures put in place in TC Transcontinental facilities across Québec, Canada, the United States and Latin America to fight the COVID-19 pandemic. As a responsible corporate citizen and a major player in economic development, in addition to contributing to the community, we have a duty to play a major role in protecting our employees, our organization and our activities. “

The project office set up by TC Transcontinental will be responsible for the logistics of organizing and running this vaccination centre in accordance with the recommendations of the CIUSSS de l’Est-de-l’Île de Montréal and the government measures in effect related to COVID-19. In addition, the company intends to collaborate with other players and organizations in the East end of Montréal as part of this initiative. Finally, TC Transcontinental will recruit volunteers among its employees to mobilize further and give back to the local community.

TC Transcontinental is a member of a business coalition for vaccination that contributes free of charge through financial, material and human resources, in order to allow the Québec government to focus its resources and manpower to reduce the pressure on the health care system.

Edwards Brothers Malloy Offset Book Plant Consolidation Reflects Industry Convergence

Edwards Brothers Malloy announced that it plans to consolidate all offset printing operations into its Ann Arbor, Mich., location by the end of 2018. As a result, it will be closing its offset printing facility located in Lillington, N.C., which will impact the job positions of approximately 100 workers employed there over the next nine-month period. “This was a very difficult decision,” said John Edwards, Edwards Brothers Malloy president and CEO, in a prepared statement. “We continue to see shrinking demand for offset printing and double-digit growth in digital printing. We want to increase our digital footprint and be sure we’re well-positioned to take advantage of opportunities and new markets.” The phased shutdown of the Lillington offset printing facility is planned to begin in April and should be completed by the end of the year, according to the company. Edwards added that the move will lead to “some” job growth in Michigan and that Lillington employees are encouraged to apply for work at its Ann Arbor location.

Sustainability: EFI Nozomi White Ink Delivers Unique Vibrant Full-Color Print on Brown Board and Achieves OCC Certification from Western Michigan University

High-graphic, efficient digital inkjet corrugated printing on EFI™ Nozomi C18000 ultra-high-speed single-pass inkjet printers continues to reach new benchmarks for packaging providers, including the achievement of another important certification addressing key recyclability needs. Electronics For Imaging, Inc. has received an additional validation from the Western Michigan University (WMU) Recycling, Paper and Coating Pilot Plant – a leading certification organization for corrugated recycling – that further verifies the recycling and repulpability of boards printed with white EFI Nozomi UV LED inks. The WMU Pilot Plant provided an OCC (old corrugated containers) certification to EFI Nozomi white inks, extending the solid, research-driven evidence that Nozomi inkjet-printed corrugated boards can safely, efficiently and effectively enter recycling streams. This new certification follows the WMU Pilot Plant’s initial OCC certification provided for the EFI Nozomi C18000 printer’s CMYK four-color process ink set.
