Modifications on our Cermi machine allow us to produce a flush french-flap on either the front or back cover panel in a single pass. Previously, we had to have the flaps on both the front and back panels.
Introduction of our new logo, better reflecting the current work of our company. It replaces our previous logo created in 1990. We also registered the English version of our name, “Multi Bookbinding,” to aid in developing our business in the Maritimes and Ontario.
Fondaction CSN has invested $1.5 million in Multi-Reliure. This investment strengthens significant private financing aimed at renewing the shareholder base following the buyout of the founder, Mrs. Suzanne Ferron’s succession. The new leadership group is headed by Yvon Sauvageau, who will also serve as the CEO, alongside two long-standing employees of the company: Patrick Pâquet, Mrs. Ferron’s son and the new VP of Operations, and Louis Baribeau, who will take on the role of VP Sales. The investor group, consisting of Jocelyn Tessier, Brian Illick, and Robert Goulet, will serve as the company’s board of directors.
Major investment to complete the automation of our casebinding line – the addition of two Kolbus machines to our current fleet of equipment, the BF 527 Book Production Line and the Chronos Casemaker. This positions Multi-Bookbinding as the most important independent casebinder in Canada.
