Cober, Kitchener, Ont., expands into western Canada by acquiring Alberta-based West Canadian Digital Imaging’s (WCD’s) digital print and wide format signage division.

“We are thrilled to welcome WCD’s print and signage teams into the Cober family,” said Todd Cober, president. “WCD’s exceptional talent and production capabilities will further enhance our ability to support our national customers, and we are truly excited for this next chapter of growth. With this investment we will now be able to offer our collective customer base the competitive advantage of cost-effective, timely and sustainable shipping. I would also like to thank the Brookman family. I am very cognizant as to how much this portion of the business means to them and I do not take the trust that they are putting into our team lightly.”

“This is a significant moment in the history of WCD. In Cober we have found the perfect company with shared values and culture to take the deeply valued and long-standing print and signage division of our company to a new level,” added Karen Brookman, president and CEO of WCD. “This marks a pivotal milestone in WCD’s journey and is a critical next step to realizing our vision to be a technology-led managed services company. As WCD moves forward, we will be focusing on emerging technologies and innovative solutions with the added benefit of leveraging Cober’s newly established national footprint with world-class capability and increased capacity. This is a strategic opportunity that truly benefits all parties involved.”

This acquisition will enable a fully integrated, streamlined fulfillment offering to large e-commerce brands as well as national commercial print customers.
