As of December 1 Canadian Printing Equipment Ltd. (CPE) becomes the exclusive full sales and service dealer for C.P. Bourg binding and finishing equipment in most of Western Canada, employing four full-time senior technicians and service agents across West.

The exclusive territory for the Winnipeg-based equipment dealer covers Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, and CPE is also authorized to sell products into British Columbia, where Dura Products Enterprises also deals with C.P. Bourg equipment.
CPE is making the transition from selling the Standard Horizon line of products, which the company has been handling for many years. Factory-trained CPE service technicians will be installing, training and offering maintenance on all C.P. Bourg equipment.
"Bourg has come out with some really innovative products, their new sheet feeder [the BSF Bourg Sheet Feeder] is really a cutting-edge system," says Wes McCallum, of Canadian Printing Equipment. "We’re really excited about what we can do out west with this product line."
The company is also a dealer for Ryobi presses in Western Canada (Xpedx Canada is the master distributor for Ryobi presses in Canada), and Busch pile turners and banding systems, along with other new and used equipment.
