Quinte Web continued to .4- m LOading the presses gTOW and in late fall of 2002 the remaining owner, Eldon Kemp, sold to Essence. In October of 2002 Essence purchased a 22,000 sq. ft. building, while extensive renovations have been in Progress over the winter months. This location is four times larger than the location in Tweed. In this location Essence will offer full colourprinting, complete in- house design, book publishing, internet solutions and copy services. Crews from Tillbury and Newmarket moved the five units of the press and the stacker out of the Tweed location by fork lift. Once it is housed in Belleville two more units will be added. Quinte Web Press was the first to move into the new building with the remainder of the Essence business to be moved by mid March. Essence will be fully up and running by mid April. Mike Visser, Qui’fle Web Press Ltgl. onto a flat bed truck to be. installed mmunlcatzons Group in Belleville. Production Manager of Essence, explained that it will be nice to have everything under one roof and will be more efficient. When the presses were moved, crews had two days to set up the presses again with levelling to be done as well as pouring concrete around the presses. Repairs to those units were also done at this time. It was a hectic schedule for the crews as it all had to be done so as not to interfere with the schedules of the newspapers that are printed. The Tweed News was the first newspaper printed at the new facility. The employees of Quinte Web Press Ltd. in Tweed kept their 'jobs when the business was sold. After 30 plus years iii Tweed it’s sad to see another business leave town, but Essence offers a wide range of business experience in the printing and publishing field.
