2006 PRINTING INDUSTRY HALL OF FAME — BUILDING A DYNASTY

Lead Down Different Path

The elder Marcoux passed away at age 39, when Rémi was only 14, and his mother was forced to sell the business. Marcoux no longer had footsteps to follow, so after high school he enrolled in a course in electronics—a vocation popularized by the onset of the television.

Working for a large corporation in Montreal, Marcoux found his initial choice unexciting and opted to enroll at the University of Montreal. He graduated in 1968 as the Canadian equivalent of a CPA and landed a job with the auditing firm of Deloitte & Touche (now KPMG). One of the Deloitte’s clients was a $30 million printing company called Quebecor.
