UPM Raflatac has officially opened a new distribution terminal in Ajax, Ontario.
The 30,000-square-foot facility will serve UPM Raflatac’s Eastern Canadian customers, bolstering the company’s North American network, which includes three factories and two other terminals.
Equipped with state-of-the-art slitting and material handling technology, the Ajax terminal promises enhanced customer service, offering greater flexibility and customization. The facility’s strategic location also aims to reduce supply chain risks while ensuring swift delivery and efficient warehousing capabilities. Customer shipments began on October 2, with full production capacity expected by the end of 2024.
"This new terminal strengthens our commitment to serving Eastern Canada while supporting sustainable growth in the region. We are grateful to the implementation team and the Toronto-based staff for their dedication during this crucial ramp-up phase," said Alex Ramirez, Director of Fulfillment at UPM Raflatac Americas.
UPM Raflatac is a global leader in sustainable self-adhesive label materials. Beyond its North American operations, UPM Raflatac maintains a presence across Central and South America, with terminals and offices in cities such as Santiago, Buenos Aires, and Mexico City.
