Quebecor Media Inc. announced today the creation of the Quebecor
Media Network, a new flyer printing and distributing subsidiary.
The capabilities of subsidiaries Alex Media Services, Messageries
Dynamiques, the community weekly distribution network, the
Islington printing plant in Ontario and the Mirabel printing plant
in Quebec are being pooled to create the new entity.
The merger will solidify Quebecor Media's leadership in flyer
printing and distribution services. Last year alone, the company
distributed more than 1.5 billion flyers across Canada.
The ultramodern printing plants in Islington and Mirabel, in
which Quebecor Media invested over $250 million and which meet the
highest standards of quality, particularly with respect to colour
reproduction, combined with the company's extensive network of
weeklies and dailies covering most major Canadian markets, will
enable the Quebecor Media Network to quickly position itself as the
industry leader.
The new unit will serve customers across Canada with no
intermediary, offering:
- A dependable and verifiable delivery system;
- In-house distribution analytics via Geographic Information
Systems (GIS);
- Targeting by FSA (Forward Sortation Area), DA (Dissimination
Area) and LDU (Local Delivery Unit);
- Supervised carrier force.
"The launch of the Quebecor Media Network will enhance the
company's integrated value proposition to its business partners and
advertisers at the local, regional and national levels," said
Pierre Karl Peladeau, President and Chief Executive Officer of
Quebecor. "More than ever, business customers will enjoy the full
benefit of the power of Quebecor Media's print and electronic media
properties, from coast to coast."
