Printer Quebecor Signs CDN$1Billion With Sears Canada

Giant commercial printer Quebecor World, Toronto, has extended its contract with Sears Canada for the printing of its catalogs. The contract extension is valued at more than CDN$1 billion and will run for 10 years.

Under the terms of the contract, Quebecor World will provide a variety of prepress services and print 90% of the catalogs that Sears Canada distributes across the country, some 60 million catalogs a year.

“This is one of the largest and most complex catalogue contracts ever reached in Canada,” Garry Smith, vice president of Sears Canada, said in a statement. The national retailer has doubled the number of pages in its catalogs since 1993.
