QUEBECOR WORLD ANNOUNCES MULTI-YEAR CONTRACT
TO PRODUCEPBTEEN FOR WILLIAMS-SONOMA, INC.
Montréal, Canada — Quebecor World (NYSE, TSX: IQW) has been awarded a multi-year contract from home furnishings retailer Williams-Sonoma, Inc. to produce its catalogPBTeen. This new agreement builds upon a 20-year old, mutually beneficial relationship between Quebecor World and Williams-Sonoma, Inc. and also includes mail list and logistics services for the title.
Quebecor World currently printsPottery Barn andPottery Barn Bed & Bath catalogs for Williams-Sonoma, Inc.
"For 20 years we have had an excellent working relationship with Quebecor World, our largest print provider, and they have repeatedly demonstrated that they understand our business. We value this relationship and are pleased to award them this additional work," stated Patrick Connolly, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer of Williams-Sonoma, Inc.
PBteen was developed to fill the niche betweenPottery Barn andPottery Barn Kids. Response to the catalog is substantially exceeding expectations as it targets the underserved market of home furnishings for teens.
"We are proud of the strong relationship we have built with Williams-Sonoma, Inc. over the years and are pleased that they have the confidence in our abilities to award us with their new catalog," stated Dave Boles, Chief Operating Officer, Quebecor World North America.
Quebecor World and Williams-Sonoma have a long history of working together effectively to improve both product quality and workflows. The pioneering application of stochastic screening toPottery Barn Bed & Bath andPottery Barn in 2000 is just one example. This process greatly enhanced the range and detailing of color reproduction. Since that initial success, the stochastic process has been continuously refined to meet the demanding requirements for consistent, high quality, high-speed web offset printing.
