OUR HISTORY

Joseph Jolicoeur, Founder of the newspaper Le Progrès

Once upon a time in Old Hull, a working-class town bubbling with energy known throughout Quebec as “little Chicago”, a young man decided to start a newspaper. Le Progrès de Hull, founded by Joseph Jolicoeur, was to become for nearly fifty years the privileged witness of the development of Hull, in addition to offering the population increasingly diversified printing services.

A renowned historian of the Outaouais region does not hesitate to say "that all the important events in the life of Hull between 1924 and 1972 went through the presses of the Imprimerie du Progrès". In 1972, the founders and owners of the newspaper decided to abandon publication in order to concentrate on commercial printing activities.


Gradually becoming a pillar of commercial printing in the Outaouais region, Imprimerie du Progrès sets itself apart from other firms in the industry by its tradition of excellence and of partnering with its customers. Imprimerie du Progrès listens to needs and offers all its customers, large and small, in a hurry or not, the same quality of service that meets the highest standards in the industry. Imprimerie du Progrès offers all its customers clear, clean and efficient options, suitable for all budgets.


It takes a lot more than a press and a printer to become a printing company. Know-how, expertise, talent, creativity and love of challenge are essential elements that make a print job an artistic achievement. It is also all of these factors that make the workers of the Imprimerie du Progrès real artisans.


When you do business with the Imprimerie du Progrès, you will benefit from the extraordinary expertise of our employees, totaling more than 200 years of "love for the job" and the cumulative expertise of four generations of concerned business people, the economic and social development of their community and the success of their clients.


As its history and corporate name suggest, Imprimerie du Progrès is determined to remain a key factor in the progress of its clients and of the Outaouais region.
