Transcontinental Inc. Announces Results For The Second Quarter Of Fiscal 2024

“I am very satisfied with our performance for the quarter in terms of profitability,” said Thomas Morin, President and Chief Executive Officer of TC Transcontinental. “We pursued our cost reduction initiatives with determination, while our efforts to improve our product mix toward higher value-added products are showing results.

In spite of the continued pressure on our non-food related activities, we are starting to see demand improving in most of our end markets.

“In our Retail Services and Printing Sector, renamed to reflect our expanded offering and growth opportunities in retail services, we are satisfied with the roll-out of raddar™ in Québec and the positive customer response to this new, innovative product as well as the growth in our in-store marketing activities. The sector’s profitability is stable as a result of the actions taken to improve our cost structure.

Ricoh Commercial & Industrial Printing Business Group Invests Across Platform

The Ricoh Commercial & Industrial Printing Business Group (CIPG), established in April, is keenly focused on getting the word out about its commitment to the production printing market. That was the key takeaway for a group of industry press and analysts who recently toured its Customer Experience Center (CEC) that is home to an array of continuous-feed inkjet, toner-based sheetfed and wide-format printers, along with several product development and testing labs, inside its Executive Briefing Center in Boulder, Colo. Ricoh defines industrial as wide-format digital printing and printing done as a part of the manufacturing process to produce finished goods such as garments, textiles, metals and architectural components. And the group’s ambitious goal isn’t merely lip service. According to Dollard, CIPG has nearly doubled its production inkjet printing direct salesforce since April; has created a Production Dealer Advisory Council to build stronger ties with its dealer network for toner-based sheetfed production and wide-format inkjet printer sales; is expanding its service and consulting business; and is fully committed to assuming a leadership role in industry advocacy, education and market advancement.

Larry Martin Leads as Director of Quad’s Plant in The Rock

Larry Martin is the plant director for Quad’s print-production plant in The Rock. As plant director, Martin oversees all plant and employee operations, strategy development, growth-planning initiatives, and more. He is a Georgia native and was named plant director at The Rock in March 2021. Martin’s career in printing began at Quad 28 years ago. He has worked in management for the last 18 years, and prior to being promoted to plant director, served as the plant’s finishing operations manager for 10.5 years. Martin credits much of his success to his cousin Trent Jones, who served as a mentor to Martin throughout his upbringing and worked 32 years as a saddle stitch operator at Quad. Finishing is one of Quad’s largest departments, with quality-assurance and exceptional customer service as top priorities. Martin says he gained immense insight on teamwork and relationship building as a leader in finishing. It provided him opportunities to interact with teams and individuals in every area of the plant, and to engage with clients from around the world, according to Quad officials.
