Transcontinental Inc. -- Growth on the Horizon

Marcoux notes that 30 percent of Transcontinental's sales comes from the United States, a figure he projects will reach 50 percent with initiatives such as further direct marketing growth, added news-paper share and a venture into the U.S. book printing arena. And while 2003 wasn't sound performance-wise in the states, he believes that could change soon.

"Right now the industry is going through a difficult time, but there's no doubt that the market will come back," he says. "We've already seen some signs that 2004 is better. We want to be part of that growth for years to come." For Transcontinental, that growth is somewhere on the Horizon 2005.
