The large-format digital printing and point of sale signage and packaging business acquired in the BOLDER transaction is not included in this transaction.

“Southwest is the leading manufacturer of document binding supplies in Canada, and we’ve had a long-standing trusted partner relationship them,” said Gregory J. Cochrane, CEO of DCM. “This transaction is consistent with our strategic focus on products and solutions that are core to our top customers, and to source non-core offerings from other leading providers where it makes more strategic sense.”

“We are excited to build upon our strong relationship with DCM,” said Louis Cordeiro, President of Southwest. “We pride ourselves on providing our customers the best solutions, largest selection, and highest level of customer satisfaction and this acquisition further enhances our offering.”
