2006 PRINTING INDUSTRY HALL OF FAME — BUILDING A DYNASTY

David Friesen, CEO of Altona, Manitoba book printer Friesens Corp., sees Marcoux as “an icon of Canadian printers.” Friesen is most impressed by Marcoux’s vision for Transcontinental and ability to turn that vision into a reality.

“He’s a gracious man and a great Canadian,” Friesen says. “He looks after his people, his managers, and they speak highly of him. I’ve known many of the companies he’s acquired, and I haven’t heard anyone speak a negative thought about him.”
