"The investments announced today are directly in line with our strategic plan to focus our investments on two major sectors: packaging and tissue products. The goal is to increase the company's market share in the food packaging sector, by continuing to propose innovative products that ensure an optimal shelf life for food and reduce our environmental footprint," asserts Mario Plourde, President and CEO of Cascades.
At the Plastiques Cascades plant in Kingsey Falls, the $3.5 million investment will be used to replace a thermoforming line, add a pre-padding solution to the production line and install automated packaging lines.
The new facilities will also reduce the physical strain associated with certain packaging activities, enabling us to offer a safer work environment to our employees.
At the Cascades Inopak plant in Drummondville, the $1 million investment will be used to install a new thermoforming line. Adding this production line at the cutting edge of technology will boost both production capacity and quality.
Cascades produces, converts and markets packaging and tissue products that are composed mainly of recycled fibres.
