Market Wire, March, 2008
Quebecor World Inc. (TSX: IQW) Magazine Group has signed renewal and new business agreements that will add 33 new titles to the company's Targeted Publications platform.
"One of Quebecor World's greatest assets is its Target Publications network." says Doron Grosman, President of the Magazine Group. "Publishers in this segment are capitalizing on our manufacturing and distribution expertise to enable well-managed growth."
Grosman further added that servicing the Targeted Publication sector in this changing print market requires a unique approach. "Quebecor World brings considerable value to short and medium-run publishers. In addition to our manufacturing expertise, we can provide services such as co-mailing, paper procurement, digital publishing and workflow analyses that smaller printers-and even some larger companies-cannot match. Our approach is hands-on, consistently producing customized solutions for each customer's specific business needs."
Highlights of these new agreements include:
- A new multi-year agreement to print 16 magazine titles for Meister Media Worldwide, a leading agricultural publisher based in Cleveland, Ohio. Titles include Cotton Grower, American Fruit Grower, American Vegetable Grower, Greenhouse Grower, CropLife and other titles.

- A new multi-year agreement to print 100% of a nine-title portfolio of magazines published by Stamats Business Media of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The titles include Archi-Tech, Buildings, Interiors & Sources and four regional editions of Meetings magazine.
- A major multi-year renewal agreement with Affinity Group, Inc., to print 100% of the publisher's 30 magazine titles, including MotorHome, American Rider, ATV Magazine, Trailer Life, Camping Life and Highways. The agreement extends a long-standing relationship with the Ventura, California-based publisher of recreational vehicle and enthusiast magazines. This new agreement also adds Powerboat magazine, a leading magazine in its category.
- A multi-year agreement to print two weekly magazines for Amos Publishing of Sidney, Ohio. Coin World and Linn's Stamp News are the flagship magazines of Amos, which is a leader in the fast-growing hobbyist and collector publishing markets. The two weeklies join 14 other Amos titles currently printed by Quebecor World.
Quebecor World's magazine division is one of the leading magazine print and related service providers in the United States. The company provides complete premedia, print, distribution and mailing services for publishers in the consumer, B2B, association, city and regional magazine markets.
