Cascades Inc. has announced the permanent closure of its corrugated base paper production facility in Niagara Falls, New York. The production stop is part of a strategic optimisation of the packaging division. The closure is scheduled to take place by 3 September 2025 at the latest and will affect 123 employees.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The company, headquartered in Kingsey Falls (Qu\u00e9bec), justifies the decision with the aim of increasing profitability and customer satisfaction in the long term. Niagara Falls previously had an annual capacity of around 200,000 short tons. A second paper machine had already been shut down in 2023. The current closure costs are estimated at around USD 5 million.<\/p>\n

Jean-David Tardif, Executive Vice-President Packaging at Cascades, explained: \u201eThis is a difficult but necessary decision as part of our strategy to optimise the performance of the packaging sector.\u201c The company is well positioned to capitalise on future growth opportunities. The aim is to simplify processes and focus on core areas, said Tardif.<\/p>

Cascades emphasises that it will actively support the affected employees - especially in their professional reorientation. The company recognised the site's 38-year history and its importance to the local community. Customers will continue to be reliably supplied thanks to internal synergy effects, it said.<\/p>\n

Founded in 1964, the company today operates 66 locations in North America<\/strong>, including 17 in the area of recycling and recovery. Cascades employs around 9,600 people and specialises in sustainable packaging, hygiene and recycling solutions.<\/p>\n
