Feb 05, 2015. /Lesprom Network/. Cascades Inc. completes sale of its North American boxboard manufacturing and converting assets to Graphic Packaging Holding Company. Included in the C$44.9-million ($36 million) transaction are the Cascades Boxboard units in East Angus, Quebec; Jonquière, Quebec; Winnipeg, Manitoba; Mississauga, Ontario and Cobourg, Ontario, as the company said in the press release received by Lesprom Network.

This move, which reflects Cascades' intention to refocus its activities on the strategic sectors in which it excels, does not affect the company's European-based boxboard operations.

The company thanks its employees once again for their loyal services and wishes them all the best for the future.

Cascades produces, converts and markets packaging and tissue products that are composed mainly of recycled fibres.
