Montreal-based paper packaging and envelopes maker Supremex announced a restructuring plan Tuesday as it estimated a $10 million to $12 million hit to annualized operating earnings from tariffs. The plan has three primary focuses. Supremex will consolidate certain U.S. and Canadian envelope locations into more efficient “centres of excellence;” shrink its Saint-Laurent, Quebec, commercial print facility and transfer folding carton production to its flagship folding carton facility in Lachine, Quebec; and accelerate technology deployment for “core back-office processes.” The company is eliminating 6% of its workforce, or 60 positions. Supremex projects the plan will lead to $5.7 million in annualized cost savings across Q4 2026 and Q1 2027. Still, the company says this has no impact on growth strategy and investments.

PRINTING United Alliance, the most comprehensive member-based printing and graphic arts association in North America, applauds the formation of the inaugural Congressional Printing Caucus in the U.S. House of Representatives. This first-of-its-kind bipartisan Caucus will focus on advancing a public policy agenda that benefits and protects America’s printing industry and its rich, diverse, and varied communities. In the 118th Congress, Representatives Claudia Tenney (R-NY-24), Mark Pocan (D-WI-2), Lori Chavez-DeRemer (R-OR-5), and Jared Golden (D-ME-2) will serve as co-chairs representing the U.S. printing industry. ACG Advocacy, the Washington, D.C. lobbying firm representing the Alliance, is in the process of identifying additional Members of Congress that share an interest in the public policy challenges and opportunities in the printing industry.

Lancaster, Pa.-based Intellicor Communications purchased the assets of the former Cadmus operations in Lancaster, Pa., and in Hurlock, Md., from Cenveo Worldwide on Aug. 8 — effectively marking the final chapter for the storied Cadmus Communications name in the printing industry. In May, Stamford, Conn.-based Cenveo — which appears to be focusing less on commercial printing and more on its label printing and envelope manufacturing businesses — had shuttered the over-century-old Cadmus printing facility, located on Byrdhill Road in Richmond, Va., impacting 184 workers.
