Quebecor Innovator Passes

MONTREAL—Philip MacAskill, a former Quebecor printing executive who helped build Worldcolor's gravure and retail printing platform, has passed away in Texas at the age of 76. MacAskill retired from Quebecor in 1998 after 25 years of executive operational management responsibilities, principally in gravure and retail operations. He was one of the architects of a coast-to-coast retail manufacturing and distribution strategy that today is said to comprise one of the market strengths of the Worldcolor organization.
