Quebecor World Exits Bankruptcy Protection

At press time, the names of the individual entities within the organization had been changed to World Color or variations on the name of the company that existed before the landmark merger 10 years ago. The firm is expected to unveil a new branding initiative.

July proved to be a month of celebrating independence for North America’s second largest printer.

A July 13 meeting wrapped up the unresolved issues and, eight days later, Quebecor World realized its goal of a fresh start.
