Transcontinental Inc. -- Growth on the Horizon

Transcontinental is also developing a system with the same platform for the simplification of transactional and all back office operations.

* The company boasts a disciplined finance and M&A approach to growth, while maintaining financial flexibility and solid financial performance.

"Horizon 2005 is really a complete orientation for the organization—growth through acquisition and internal growth development, systems, operations and simplifying back offices. Equally important is to be world class and become more efficient every day and in everything that we do," Desjardins explains. "We called it Horizon 2005 because we knew we couldn't accomplish all of that in one year. It is going extremely well, as planned, with some positive surprises in the operational efficiency costs. We are very pleased with year-to-year improvement."
