This next-generation equipment will boost production capacity while improving product quality.
USA – Cascades, a leading manufacturer of eco-friendly packaging and hygiene products, has announced a major USD 15 million investment to install a state-of-the-art tissue-converting line at its Granby, Quebec, facility, significantly boosting the site’s production capacity while enhancing overall product quality.
The USD 15 million installation is set to unfold over nine months and follows a USD 14 million investment from recent years, totalling USD 29 million in facility investments.
The investment responds to ongoing demand from retail customers, especially for standard and multi-pack toilet paper.
Strategically located in Granby, the new line can produce 3 million cases annually, with production starting in late 2026. This expansion will significantly increase capacity and better serve customers’ growing needs.
Installing this equipment will protect the 239 well-paying jobs at the plant and directly support economic vitality in the Haute-Yamaska region.
