North Chelmsford, MA, October 28, 2013-Courier Corporation (Nasdaq: CRRC), one of America's leading innovators in book manufacturing, publishing and content management, today announced plans to bring its pioneering technology for the production of customized textbooks to Brazil.
The move rests on a pair of agreements expected to close later this year. Under the first, Courier will acquire a 40% stake in Brazilian book manufacturer Digital Page Gráfica E Editora Ltda. for an investment of approximately $9 million. Under the second, Courier will license its proprietary custom textbook platform to Santillana, the largest Spanish/Portuguese educational publisher in the world, which has a long-term print agreement with Digital Page. The combination of Courier's custom book solution and advanced workflow systems to be implemented at Digital Page will enable Santillana to become the first publisher in the country to offer textbooks customized to the needs of individual schools.
