Jun 26, 2007 11:55 AM
xpedx (Loveland, OH) plans to start operations in Canada this August with a new Canadian national headquarters, a 150,000-sq.-ft. distribution center and two new xpedx Paper & Graphics stores serving the greater Toronto area.
Company officials say they expected to open additional facilities across Canada starting in 2008, including a third store in the metro Toronto area. The company also plans to begin marketing and distributing packaging and janitorial/sanitary supplies and equipment in Canada next year.
xpedx, a business of International Paper (Memphis, TN), is one of the largest business-to-business distribution companies in the United States with more than $6.8 billion (U.S.) in 2006 revenues.
xpedx Canada Inc. is a newly formed Canadian federal corporation and a subsidiary of International Paper. The new combined headquarters, distribution center and one of the two xpedx Paper & Graphics stores are located in Brampton, Ontario, northwest of downtown Toronto. The company’s second area store, a 10,000-sq.-ft. standalone facility, will open in Markham, Ontario. The third xpedx Paper & Graphics store slated for 2008 will be located west of Toronto.
“Large, mid-size and small printers in Toronto tell us they can benefit from a new supply source of printing papers and graphics products,” says Art Douville, executive vice president of xpedx. “We bring printers deep inventories of branded papers, competitive pricing, rapid delivery and local sales and customer service personnel who are experts in paper and printing.”
Douville adds, “xpedx specializes in working with printers of all sizes to improve inventory management and gain efficiencies in the pressroom to increase productivity and profitability. We can offer printers comprehensive online business support that greatly simplifies purchasing, provides unmatched, real-time visibility on their total spend, and eliminates unnecessary costs.”
