CANADIAN WEB CONSULTANTS LTD.

The company was established in March 1984 by Stephen Tweddle, President and Michele Belanger. The original conception was to offer Pre-Press and Pressroom training coupled with Preventive Maintenance Programs to Newspapers and Commercial Printers. As early as 1965 Steve had worked in various printing plants and during that time had several designed training and preventive maintenance programs to educate the personnel. During the 1970's and 1980's the manufactures strived to make their equipment user friendly and the art of pressman ship had declined, as a result there was a definite lack of skilled staff, as there still is today. Michele Belanger, designed pre-press programs and using her extensive knowledge in both departments introduced a complete production training package. Over the years CWC expanded their services and staff to include Plant layout, Preventive maintenance Programs, Plant Audits, Rebuilds and Installations. To date CWC has conducted programs on an global level encompassing no less than 5 continents , in 39 countries.
