TC Transcontinental announces new agreement with Hearst

Transcontinental Inc. (TSX: TCL.A TCL.B) today announced that, effective April 2, 2018, TC Transcontinental will transfer to Hearst the printing operations of its Fremont, California facility where Hearst’s San Francisco Chronicle — the largest newspaper in Northern California and the second largest on the West Coast — and its related products are printed, and post-press services are conducted. Under the terms of the agreement, TC Transcontinental will continue printing the newspaper in Fremont for a transition period.

TC Transcontinental will receive a cash payment of US$42.8 million from Hearst as compensation for the early termination of the printing agreement, for the sale of some of its printing equipment, and for services to be rendered as part of a Transitional Service Agreement. The amount will be received mainly in 2017, and the balance in 2018.

On April 2, TC Transcontinental employees working at the Fremont plant will be transferred to Hearst. TC Transcontinental would like to thank all these employees for their dedication and professionalism over the years and wishes them continued success, going forward with Hearst. TC Transcontinental maintains ownership of its Fremont, California plant and will be renting the facility to Hearst until the end of 2024.

The Corporation will transfer the remaining equipment in Fremont to other TC Transcontinental Canadian plants in 2018 to create efficiencies within its retail printing platform. TC Transcontinental will also transfer the retail volume from the Fremont operation to other plants in its printing network and ensure a seamless transition for its customers

The Big Reveal: Introducing the Arandell Catalog

We know what you’re thinking – why the heck would a catalog printer print their own catalog? There are three key reasons: 1) To Introduce the New Arandell Brand - Over the last few years we’ve been on quite a journey as an organization. 2) To Show What’s Possible with the Modern-Day Catalog - Nothing against the massive 100+ page behemoths you’re used to seeing, as they can still be effective, but most of today’s cataloging brands opt for a ”look book” approach—coffee table pieces that reinforce their company values. 3) To Put Ourselves in Our Customers’ Shoes - At Arandell our goal is to not just be a catalog printer for our clients but a true partner.
