Rémi Marcoux, founder of TC Transcontinental and a member of the board, says he is not seeking re-election as a director when his term ends March 13; company names him Founder Emeritus

Rémi Marcoux, founder of TC Transcontinental, said: “I built this great company, which I founded in 1976, with a long-term vision and a desire for continuity, and my wishes have come true. I am a fulfilled and content man as I look to TC Transcontinental’s future, and I thank all our shareholders, customers, suppliers and employees for their unwavering support over the years. At the age of 83, I intend to take it easy a bit, and I have full confidence in my daughter Isabelle, who succeeded me as Chair of the Board in 2012, in Thomas Morin, President and CEO, as well as our talented board members, executives and employees.”

“My dear Rémi, it will be a very special moment for us on March 13 when you step away from the boardroom table,” said Isabelle Marcoux, Executive Chair of the Board of Transcontinental Inc. “We will continue to honour you, because we have learned from the best. You are one of the great entrepreneurs of Québec Inc. who knew how to look far ahead, a remarkable mentor who guided me and many generations of business people, and finally an extraordinary philanthropist, notably with HEC Montréal, Centraide of Greater Montréal and the Montreal Heart Institute. Transcontinental's Board of Directors is proud to have named you “Founder Emeritus” for the outstanding man you are and for your exceptional career as a whole.”
