Quebecor World Inc. has signed a multi-year agreement valued at approximately $100 million with Boardroom Inc. The arrangement gives Quebecor printing and distribution responsibility for millions of newsletters, books, special reports and more.

The new agreement represents a more than six-fold increase in Quebecor World business volume with Boardroom.

"When we say our vendors are our partners we don't just say it - we mean it,” said Brian Kurtz, Boardroom’s executive VP, in a statement. “This new partnership with Quebecor World goes way beyond printing. They will be a key player for us in all of our company initiatives for many years to come.” Boardroom is best known for its "Bottom Line" series of newsletters and related books and special reports.

"We appreciate the confidence Boardroom has placed in us by awarding Quebecor World this long-term agreement for almost all of their major print work and related distribution,” said Jacques Mallette,Quebecor World’s president and CEO.

"Boardroom sees the value of our integrated solution approach,” said Kevin J. Clarke, Quebecor World’s president of its publishing services group, in a statement. Last year, Quebecor combined its book, magazine and director operations into a single platform.
