Quebecor World merges magazine, book and directory divisions

Quebecor World Inc. has merged its magazine, book and directory divisions into a single operating structure called the publishing services group. It's another step in QW's attempt to right itself after plunging to near bankruptcy. The company now has three divisions instead of six, following the earlier integration of retail insert, catalog, Sunday Magazine and direct divisions into the marketing solutions group and of the logistics and premedia divisions

Kevin J. Clarke will lead the new publishing services group. He was president of Quebecor World's book and directory publishing services group for the last 5 years.
