First things first.
Island Blue Print with its location in downtown Sidney is independent of and not related to Victoria-based office supply chain Monk Office.
Sam Soliman, president and chief executive officer (CEO) Rolex Plastics and Printing Ltd. issued this clarification after news of Island BlueB次元官网网址檚 purchase by Monk Office earlier in January had prompted some questions about the status of the long-time Beacon Avenue business.
Soliman said in an interview with Black Press Media that the confusion may stem from a picture that shows the current CEO of Monk Office and the former president of Island Blue together. He clarified Monk Office did purchase a portion of Island Blue, but only the smaller retail division selling office supplies.
SolimanB次元官网网址檚 company, meanwhile, purchased the larger print division with locations in Victoria on Fort Street and Sidney on Beacon Avenue. Considered the leading commercial printer and book printer in Victoria, Island Blue Print will continue to operate as an independent division with branches located in downtown Victoria and Sidney.
The Shemilt Family had previously founded and owned the business and Soliman said in the release announcing his companyB次元官网网址檚 purchase of Island Blue Print that Rolex Plastics and Printing Ltd. looks to build on the ShemiltB次元官网网址檚 legacy.
