This is why as an owner of a good printing company, you really need to do your own due diligence on who's buying you and dig deep into their past to see if it will really work out as great as the acquisition company putting together the deal says and as well as what the purchaser says too! Because once commissions & shares are all allocated and the deal is now exposed as the sham it always was, the good printing company and it's employees are left victimized.

Any employee that works with him should seek employment elsewhere.

Maracle Press has been on a downfall since he bought it. He has been cutoff by paper suppliers and now can not even get plates. Took over a company that is 100+ years old and ruined it in less than a year.

Well based on all the comments about these companies in the last news this is certainly not a surprise... I had hoped these kind of companies were gone!

from a previous story Michael Hothi, owner of Ottawa-based Trico Packaging and Print Solutions, and Toronto-based Canadian Printing Resources, acquires Maracle Press, a full-service print provider based in Oshawa, Ont. Established in 1920, Maracle specializes in serving clients in the education, publishing, and financial sectors. This agreement marks a significant milestone for Hothi, representing his seventh acquisition since 2022 and further enhancing his print solutions portfolio. “I am thrilled to welcome Maracle into our family of companies,” said Hothi. “Maracle’s rich history, dedication to quality, and esteemed reputation perfectly complement our existing operations. This acquisition enhances our ability to serve clients across diverse industries and reinforces our position as a leading print solutions provider in Canada. And now this story refers to Hothi as previous owner? It's great to be able to build up a so called empire until things go sideways and then walk away leave everybody hanging. He missed his true calling as a penny stock promoter
