Quebecor

Quebecor used to print our manuals, boxes, and CDs back when we were both at Spry. I was trying to figure out where in the Quebecor family tree that division lived. I guess Quebecor bought out Print Northwest in 1994, and I think the division was broken in half (print, optical media duplication) and sold off, with the disk business going to QMedia. And that's about the point I gave up researching this, because it's too early in the morning.

I remember visiting their plant in 1998 or so and looking at all of these gigantic floppy disk duplication machines and printed packaging assembly and shrinkwrapping lines and thinking these machines probably cost somewhere in the high six figures and would be melted into boat anchors within 18 months.
