KITCHENER, ONT.—Cober Printing will be absorbing clients and staff from Allprint Ainsworth Associates, the local company that closed its doors last week.

 Cober Printing president Peter Cober says that he sat down with Allprint Ainsworth owner Klause after the company shut its doors to try and salvage what is left of the business. “He has an interest for his employees that have been there for 20 to 30 years as well as the clients that he has made long-term relationships with,” says Cober. “It isn’t an asset, there wasn’t a purchase but we are trying to transition as many clients and staff as possible from Allprint to our shop.”

An auction date of March 23 has been set for machinery from Allprint Ainsworth, says Cober.

Allprint Ainsworth president Klaus Ertle was contacted but did not wish to comment.
