The George Urban Boulevard location, which formerly operated as Worldcolor Buffalo and Quebecor World Buffalo, still has about 275 employees, said Claire Ho, a spokeswoman for Wisconsin-based Quad/Graphics. Quad/Graphics in April announced its plan to close the Depew plant late this year.

Quebecor Media Inc., whose flyers land on more than half of all Canadian doorsteps each week, is set to launch its own digital flyer service to tap web-savvy bargain hunters.

The new position is effective in December. Maxted has a wealth of industry experience which he will bring to the role having started out in the print industry at the age of 16 when he secured an apprenticeship with a local printing company in Tyneside.

Commercial printer Quad/Graphics, continuing to consolidate its operations more than a year after it acquired competitor World Color Press, announced plans to shutter printing plants in Richmond, Va., and Stillwater, Okla.

The Sussex-based commercial printer said the closures will affect 125 employees in Richmond and 240 employees in Stillwater.
