MONTREAL, Nov. 21, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — TC Transcontinental (TSX: TCL.A TCL.B) announced today the closure of its Transcontinental Prince Edward Island plant located in Borden-Carleton by the end of January 2020 at the latest, and a reorganization of activities at its Transcontinental Halifax plant. This decision is in line with the Corporation’s strategy to continuously optimize its printing platform, adjusting the capacity and costs to business volumes. 
“We conducted an analysis of our printing operations in Atlantic Canada and regretfully concluded that volumes at Transcontinental Prince Edward Island did not justify keeping the plant running,” said Brian Reid, President of TC Transcontinental Printing. “Together with our customers, we will assess alternate printing solutions available to them – either within TC Transcontinental’s network or with another provider.
