Annex Publishing & Printing Inc. acquires Manure Manager magazine

Annex Publishing & Printing Inc. is pleased to announce
the acquisition of Manure Manager magazine from Vancouver based Manure Manager Partnership.

Manure Manager magazine reaches the decision-makers
in intensive livestock operations in the US and Canada…
the owners and managers who deal with manure issues and
make critical decisions on handling, storage and application
of this critical agricultural resource. The magazine is
published six times a year and is received by more than
15,000 readers.

“This publication is an excellent fit with our growing
farm and agricultural business group,” says Mike Fredericks,
President and CEO of Annex. “We see many synergies
with our existing publications.” Annex's agricultural
publications include Top Crop Manager, Canadian
Poultry, Fruit & Vegetable Magazine, Greenhouse
Canada and Drainage Contractor.

As a result of the acquisition, Annex now publishes 26
national and international trade and special interest magazines,
prints over 91 North American publications in its Simcoe,
Ontario based printing plant and operates a national distribution
centre for technical books and videos. Annex is also a partner
in Nanaimo, British Columbia based Point One Media which
publishes business journals, produces digital publications
and directories, and provides a suite of web-based business
tools.

Manure Manager will be published from Annex’s Exeter,
Ontario based office, which is responsible for five other
titles in the Annex family. For further information contact:
