  • On November 10, 2022, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.03 per common share payable on December 23, 2022, to the shareholders of record at the close of business of December 8, 2022.

“Supremex once again generated record results in terms of sales and profitability. We are delighted with our team’s ability to sustain significant operating progress, as the third quarter was the eleventh straight period of year-over-year improvement in Adjusted EBITDA. As consolidated revenue grew nearly 24% over last year, strong profitability gains in both segments drove a significant improvement in Net Earnings per share that more than doubled from the previous year”, said Stewart Emerson, President & CEO of Supremex.

“The Envelope performance continues to validate the strategy of geographic diversification into the U.S. envelope market to optimize both Canadian and U.S. operations. The November 1 acquisition of Royal Envelope in Chicago, a formidable player in the robust direct mail market, allows further geographic penetration in the fragmented U.S. market. The Packaging business continues to perform exceedingly well. Adjusted for the impact of the Durabox wind-down, revenues are up double-digits for the quarter, and margins are also strong. We are currently laser focused on servicing customers and growing sales as we move one of our primary Montreal area facilities in Q4. Once completed, our focus will be significantly narrowed to the value-added pharmaceutical, health & beauty, in home food and e-commerce markets.

Printer Jam: Serious Supply Issues Disrupt the Book Industry’s Fall Season (nytimes.com)

Capacity issues at the two largest printing companies are among the factors creating havoc for authors and publishers. This spring, when the pandemic forced bookstores across the country to close and authors to cancel their tours, many editors and publishers made a gamble. They postponed the publication of dozens of titles, betting that things would be back to normal by the fall. Now, with September approaching, things are far from normal. Books that were bumped from spring and early summer are landing all at once, colliding with long-planned fall releases and making this one of the most crowded fall publishing seasons ever. And now publishers are confronting a new hurdle: how to print all those books. read more at: https://www-nytimes-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.nytimes.com/2020/08/27/books/printing-companies-backlog-book-publishing.amp.html

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.

Quad Donates $25,000 to MagLiteracy.org to Kickstart Creation of National Literacy Marketplace

In celebration of International Literacy Day and the 16th anniversary of the founding of MagLiteracy.org this week, Quad announced today that it has donated $25,000 to MagLiteracy.org to kickstart the creation of a first-of-its-kind national literacy marketplace. The marketplace, a nationwide network of regional literacy banks, will facilitate donations of new, recycled or expired magazines and comic books to local literacy programs – an important tool in combatting poverty. Quad’s cornerstone contribution to MagLiteracy.org will be used to: *Establish a Magazine Literacy Lab in Madison, Wisconsin, which will serve as a training, education and resource center for individuals and groups looking to establish or grow literacy programs in their own communities, replicating MagLiteracy.org’s proven best practices, including how to engage volunteers. *Support operations at MagLiteracy.org’s newly established Ohio Literacy Bank, a warehouse in Columbus for processing large-volume magazine donations (from publishers, newsstand returns, etc.). These donations, which are sorted and boxed by volunteers, are delivered to literacy programs in Columbus and other nearby cities, including parts of Appalachia. The warehouse is the first in a planned nationwide network of regional literacy banks that will supply local literacy programs inside women’s shelters, youth mentoring programs, job training centers, meal programs and food pantries.
