Cascades has announced a new investment aimed at expanding its tissue paper production platform in Quebec through the installation of a next-generation converting line at its Granby facility. The project represents an investment of CAD 15 million and will be implemented over the next nine months. Combined with previous investments made at the site in recent years, the total amount invested in the facility reaches CAD 29 million.
The new equipment is designed to support sustained demand from retail customers, particularly in the toilet paper segment, including both standard and multi-pack formats. Once operational, the new line will add significant production capacity and further strengthen Cascades’ ability to serve a growing customer base.
The converting line is expected to have an annual production capacity of approximately three million cases and is scheduled to begin operations during the fourth quarter of 2026.
Beyond increasing output, the project will contribute to maintaining the competitiveness of the Granby operation while supporting employment at the site. The facility currently employs 239 people and remains an important contributor to the economic development of the Haute-Yamaska region.
“This investment reflects our commitment to being the partner of choice for our customers by adapting with agility to market realities. The installation of this new modern line is fully in line with our long-term growth strategy,” said Hugues Simon, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cascades. “This investment also reflects the dedication and expertise of our teams, who contribute every day to the performance and competitiveness of our platform.”
A major player in the tissue sector, Cascades continues to focus on the development of high-performance hygiene products with a reduced environmental footprint. The company has also been recognized among the world’s 100 most sustainable corporations for seven consecutive years in the Global 100 ranking compiled by Corporate Knights.
The investment further reinforces Cascades’ commitment to innovation, operational efficiency and long-term growth while enhancing its ability to meet evolving market requirements in North America.
