  • On October 17, 2023, the Company announced optimization initiatives in the packaging segment to enhance efficiency and yield synergies resulting in annual cost savings of $1.5 million once all measures are implemented.
  • On November 8, 2023, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.035 per common share, payable on December 22, 2023, to shareholders of record at the close of business on December 7, 2023.

“Demand continues to improve but somewhat slower than expected with high inflation and interest rates still affecting direct mail and consumer product spending. With continuous efforts to drive efficient working capital management, Supremex generated a solid free cash flow during the third quarter. Taking into consideration the business acquisitions, Supremex reimbursed over $9 million of long-term debt and repurchased shares,” said Stewart Emerson, President & CEO of Supremex. “We entered the fourth quarter with the right level of inventory to support our customers in the current market conditions. Meanwhile, our teams are focused on completing the integration of the packaging operations and achieving the planned efficiencies and synergies related to our most recent optimization initiatives.”
