IF THIS magazine chose to hand out an award for the biggest newsmaker of the year, the 2008 honor would go to Quebecor World (QW), hands down. One might contend that the attention, while merited, is not the type of exposure a company would want: Financing issues, trying to sell an unprofitable venture and muddling through with bankruptcy in two countries. But Quebecor World is a printer for our economic times, the No. 2 in North America at a time when market leaders (Circuit City, AIG, Lehman Bros.) have come crashing down.

MONTRÉAL—10/15/2008—Quebecor World Inc. (TSX: IQW) today announced it has co-mailed more than 1.1 billion catalogs and periodicals for customers in its U.S. platform within a 12 month period. This milestone is another demonstration of Quebecor World’s industry leading co-mail expertise dating back to the first inline co-mail pool developed at its Quebecor World Mt. Morris, IL facility in 1996 in partnership with Ted Hesemann, CEO of Herrschners, Inc. Today, Quebecor World offers a comprehensive array of inline and offline co-mail and mail list technology solutions to provide their customers with flexibility, multiple trim size options and predictive postage savings.
