Printer and publisher Transcontinental Inc. said Wednesday it has acquired print-to-web marketing provider Conversys Inc. for an undisclosed amount.
Conversys specializes in transforming print marketing materials like flyers and catalogues into interactive online content.

Transcontinental said Conversys’ approximately 30 employees and production capabilities will continue to be based in London, Ont., and a sales office will be set up at a Transcontinental operation in Mississauga, Ont.
According to Transcontinental, Conversys’ customer base consists of national and regional North American retailers under approximately 40 separate banners.
