Cascades has announced a $5.3 million investment at its Granby tissue plant in Quebec, aimed at increasing production capacity and improving product quality across two strategic bathroom tissue lines.
The investment includes the addition of a new packer and a high-performance case packer to one of the machines producing tissue for the Cascades PRO Away-from-Home line. This equipment upgrade is expected to increase production by 20% by the end of 2025.
A second production line—focused on retail bathroom tissue—has also received a series of technological improvements. The integration of advanced equipment will enhance output, ensure higher-quality products, and reinforce Cascades' ability to meet the needs of its partners.
“These enhancements at our Granby tissue plant will expand our ability to meet the needs of our current and future customers,” said Hugues Simon, President and CEO of Cascades. “This investment is part of an ongoing effort to optimize our operations and consolidate our growth path.”
Acquired in 2011, the Granby facility serves residential, commercial, and institutional markets. With over 200 employees, it ranks among the largest employers in the region.
This latest investment reflects Cascades' strategy of improving profitability through asset performance and efficient cash flow management. It also supports the company’s commitment to sustainable, value-added manufacturing in the hygiene and tissue sector.
Cascades is the leading tissue producer in Canada and ranks sixth in North America. Recognized for its environmental leadership, the company has appeared on the Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations list for six consecutive years.
Headquartered in Kingsey Falls, Quebec, Cascades employs approximately 9,600 people across 66 facilities in North America, including 17 recovery and recycling centers. Founded in 1964, the company is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol CAS.
