MONTREAL, Aug. 20, 2020 /CNW/ - Supremex Inc. ("Supremex" or the "Company") (TSX: SXP), a leading North American manufacturer and marketer of envelopes and a growing provider of paper-based packaging solutions, today announced that it entered into an automatic share purchase plan with a broker in order to facilitate purchases of its common shares under its previously announced normal course issuer bid.

Under the automatic share purchase plan, the Company's broker may repurchase common shares which it  would ordinarily not be permitted to due to regulatory restrictions or self-imposed blackout periods.
