Quebecor World Streamlines Divisions

MONTREAL—Quebecor World is now operating under a three-tier infrastructure with its decision to integrate its six divisions into three groups. The magazine, book and directory divisions now comprise the Publishing Services Group, which will enable the company to streamline operations, improve services and better serve existing and new publishing customers.

That move came on the heels of Quebecor World’s decision to integrate its U.S. retail insert, catalog, Sunday magazine and direct mail divisions into the Marketing Solutions Group. The logistics and premedia divisions will also operate under one structure.

Kevin Clarke will lead the Publishing Services Group. He has been president of Quebecor World’s Book and Directory Publishing Services Group for the past five years. Clarke joined the organization in 1982.

Brian Freschi will take the helm of the Marketing Solutions Group. Freschi, a 14-year veteran of the company, was president of the U.S. Retail, Catalog and Sunday Magazine Division for the past six years.
