Cascades Inc. announces the permanent shutdown of paper machine number 2 at its Niagara Falls, New York mill, which had been temporarily shut down since November 2022. The machine, amongst the oldest in the containerboard platform, has a production capacity of 90,000 short tons per year, and would require investments for it to remain competitive.
The permanent closure of this machine will impact approximately 40 positions. The majority of these positions are currently vacant or will be subject to attrition in order to minimize the impact on the employees.
Founded in 1964, Cascades offers sustainable, innovative and value-added packaging, hygiene and recovery solutions. The company employs 10,000 talents across a network close to 80 facilities in North America.
