Royalty-only deal wins court approval after a year-long search, and a proposal is planned to preserve tax attributes for the Mitchell Group.
Mitchell Press Limited filed a notice of intention to make a proposal on August 31, 2026, with MNP Ltd. as proposal trustee. The Burnaby printer is winding down, and on September 17 the court approved the sale of its customer list to Dollco Print Solutions Group Inc. In 2022, after several years of losses, Mitchell Press bought a $5 million Landa digital press. It had technical issues, which the manufacturer disputed, and the new work never materialized. The company leaned on its BMO credit line, which grew to about $4 million.
Was one of Western Canada's largest independent printers, with sales of over $18 million and a staff of 80.

Then its largest customer, about 25% of sales, left, and tariffs and labour disruptions cut into demand. In late 2025, the group refinanced BMO out. Slow Loris Holdings Ltd., a Mitchell Group entity that owns the Burnaby facility, borrowed $17 million and lent about $14.5 million of it to Mitchell Press. The higher debt costs pushed the company into a liquidity crisis. At June 30 it held $9.08 million of assets against $17.99 million of liabilities. Mitchell Press began seeking a buyer in June 2025. Of 16 print companies approached, seven signed NDAs and only Dollco made an offer. Dollco will pay 5% of the revenue it collects from the acquired customers over three years. No cash is paid at closing, which must occur by October 31. Dollco takes no liabilities and may hire Mitchell Press staff. Mitchell Press will then sell its remaining equipment and make a proposal to creditors.
