"Canadian paper packaging company Cascades Inc. has invested $3.56 million to upgrade a converting line at its tissue manufacturing facility in its hometown of Kingsey Falls, Quebec.
The investment included replacing a packager and bagger with higher-performance equipment, which Cascades says will result in two major benefits—optimizing the bathroom tissue packaging process and increasing productivity.
This project is expected to increase the converting line’s production rate at the packaging level by 8 percent compared with current performance levels as well as improve overall line throughput, specifically through improved availability and a faster average speed.
"The project implemented at our Kingsey Falls tissue plant will enable us to increase our capacity and be valued partner for our current and future customers,” Cascades President and CEO Hugues Simon says. “This investment exceeding $3.5 million—part of our continuous improvement efforts—demonstrates our commitment to driving our growth.” ..."
