TC Transcontinental to Acquire Groupe PDI Add-On

TC Transcontinental has announced the acquisition of Groupe Phipps Dickson Integria (Groupe PDI), a Kirkland and Laval, Quebec-based provider of large-format display and merchandising production, commercial printing, and specialized distribution through Harling Marketing. Groupe PDI employs 180 people and will add production facilities with advanced technology capabilities to TC Transcontinental’s Quebec operations.

The deal is positioned as part of TC Transcontinental’s targeted growth strategy in marketing on the point of sale across Canada. The company cited recent add-ons including Middleton Group in June, plus Intergraphics and Mirazed in August. On an annualized basis, TC Transcontinental’s marketing-on-the-premises activities generate nearly $300 million in revenue and rely on about 1,500 employees.
