The SCMP Group has entered into an agreement to print the International New York Times' publications in Hong Kong and the mainland.
The deal is set to kick off in February next year and is the second contract printing agreement the SCMP has entered into in three years. The first was with the Chinese-language paper am730.
"We are delighted to be awarded the contract to undertake the International New York Times' printing needs for Hong Kong and China," SCMP chief executive Robin Hu said. "For the INYT, given its loyal base of on-the-go high-achieving subscribers, there can be no compromise when it comes to quality and reliability.
"We are therefore honoured to have been selected by one of the world's most admired publications as its trusted printer in a region that has established itself as a major source of global news."
The deal was a sign that, while both media organisations continue to push the envelope in the digital frontier, their print versions represent a strong commitment to print journalism, loyal print readers and advertisers.
The SCMP's facility in Tai Po will now support the daily printing of the South China Morning Post, am730 and the International New York Times.
