Quebecor World Elevates Lucas
MONTREAL—Embattled printing giant Quebecor World has named new president and CEO Wes Lucas to its board of directors, less than a week after taking the helm of the company. Prior to his May 11 appointment, Lucas served as chairman, president and CEO of Sun Chemical, a leading producer of printing industry inks and pigments. The announcement comes on the heels of the news that Quebecor World will cut a total of 756 jobs in 2006 because of poor results from its commercial printing operations.
