Forum Productions, a commercial printer located in Delta, B.C., has recently been acquired by Contac. The marketing solutions company is headquartered in Vancouver, B.C, and is set to obtain a range of print equipment in this acquisition to complement its existing print infrastructure.
Contac will obtain a six-colour, 40” sheetfed press; a four-colour UV hybrid, 29” sheetfed press; a die-cutter/foiler; and an assortment of other assets totalling 39 pieces. The company says this will allow it to significantly increase daily print output to more than 1.6 million sheets per 8-hour shift on offset presses.
"With a powerful and innovative print production facility, Contac has both the equipment and experience necessary to handle complex print jobs," says Gary Gunter, GM of print operations, Contac. "Contac continually invests in new equipment and technology to ensure we remain industry leaders. The acquisition of Forum's printing equipment was exactly in line with our growth goals for 2010."
Forum's current clients will be transitioned to Contac including Canada Post, the City of Vancouver, Boston Pizza, Direct Buy, Canadian Cancer Society, Frequency Magazine, Vancouver Community College, among others.
“The commencement of 2010 also marks a period of remarkable growth for Contac,” said Riaz Pisani, President and CEO of Contac. “With our increased volumes generated by the Contac Procurement Platforms, eConcierge™ Program, and our expanding client base, the acquisition of additional print machinery operated by an experienced staff could not have come at a better time.”
