Columbia Forest Products Streamlines M&A Pipeline with Midaxo
'Our M&A strategy is rooted in values. We're not just acquiring businesses—we're giving them a lasting home where employees become part-owners, not just staff,' said Rick Brewer, Vice President of Corporate Development at Columbia Forest Products. 'To do that well, we needed smarter tools that fit the way we work. Midaxo's Outlook Plug-in brought instant visibility and clarity to our pipeline. Now we always know where every deal stands—and what comes next.'
Previously reliant on spreadsheets and manual processes, Columbia's M&A team sought a scalable solution to manage growing deal flow while maintaining their people-first approach. With Midaxo, they now have a centralized, real-time view of every conversation, document, and task—embedded directly within their email workflow.
'We're proud to support Columbia Forest Products as they scale with purpose,' said Jude McColgan, CEO of Midaxo. 'Our platform is designed for teams that want speed without sacrificing control. With powerful real-time analytics, integrated VDR, and seamless Outlook integration, we're helping Columbia close more of the right deals, faster.'
The move to Midaxo isn't just a digital upgrade—it's a strategic shift. By aligning intuitive technology with their mission-driven approach, Columbia is accelerating deal execution, strengthening transparency, and staying true to what matters most: people.

TRREB: More Interest Rate Cuts and a Trade Deal Would Further Improve Home Sales
TORONTO, July 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Ownership housing affordability continued to improve in June 2025. Average selling prices and borrowing costs remained lower than last year's levels. However, despite some month-over-month momentum, many would-be homebuyers remained on the sidelines due to economic uncertainty. 'The GTA housing market continued to show signs of recovery in June. With more listings available, buyers are taking advantage of increased choice and negotiating discounts off asking prices. Combined with lower borrowing costs compared to a year ago, homeownership is becoming a more attainable goal for many households in 2025,' said Toronto Regional Real Estate (TRREB) President Elechia Barry-Sproule. Greater Toronto Area (GTA) REALTORS® reported 6,243 home sales through TRREB's MLS® System in June 2025 – down by 2.4 per cent compared to June 2024. New listings entered into the MLS® System amounted to 19,839 – up by 7.7 per cent year-over-year. On a seasonally adjusted basis, June home sales increased month-over-month compared to May 2025. New listings declined compared to May. The monthly increase in sales coupled with the monthly decline in new listings continued the tightening trend experienced during the spring. The MLS® Home Price Index Composite benchmark was down by 5.5 per cent year-over-year in June 2025. The average selling price, at $1,101,691 was down by 5.4 per cent compared to June 2024. On a month-over-month seasonally adjusted basis, the MLS® HPI Composite and average selling price both edged lower compared to May 2025. 'A firm trade deal with the United States accompanied by an end to cross-border sabre rattling would go a long way to alleviating a weakened economy and improving consumer confidence. On top of this, two additional interest rate cuts would make monthly mortgage payments more comfortable for average GTA households. This could strengthen the momentum experienced over the last few months and provide some support for selling prices,' said TRREB Chief Information Officer Jason Mercer. 'It is important to highlight that housing is not just impacted by economic and financial issues. Canadian residents, both homeowners and renters alike, are increasingly having to deal with the nightmare of violent home invasions and carjackings,' said TRREB CEO John DiMichele. 'TRREB is encouraged by the recent federal announcement to table a crime bill this Fall introducing stricter bail conditions and sentencing for these disturbing crimes. While this is a good first step by the federal government to strengthen public safety, more is needed, such as working with provinces to increase law enforcement funding and improve capacity and efficiency in the court system,' continued DiMichele.
