Their expertise and dedication have made this project a resounding success."
Commissioned in 1972, this Kingsey Falls plant currently serves the industrial and food packaging markets. It currently boasts 68 employees and is one of the region's top employers. It also provides a competitive salary and a benefits program tailored to its employees' lifestyle.
A key player in the packaging sector, Cascades offers a wide range of high-performance products with a low environmental footprint.
