Optimization of TC Transcontinental’s Printing Network: Owen Sound Facility to Close at End of January
The company will shift work to five other plants and later sell the property, affecting about 360 employees, Patrick Brayley said.
- On Wednesday, Transcontinental Inc announced it will close its printing facility in Owen Sound, Ontario, at the end of January 2027 as part of optimizing its integrated national printing network.
- The Owen Sound site, known as the Transcontinental RBW plant, was acquired from the Southam commercial printing group in 1992 and has operated under Transcontinental for over 30 years.
- At a meeting Wednesday at the Harry Lumley Bayshore Community Centre, COO Patrick Brayley confirmed the closure to 360 employees, stating the decision was "not made lightly."
- Work will be redistributed to five other plants across the country, the property will eventually be sold, and affected employees will receive support through career transition services.
- Transcontinental retains a strong Ontario presence, with approximately 40% of employees working in the province and operations continuing in Vaughan, Aurora, Brampton, Paris, and Mississauga.
