Montréal and LaSalle Plants reap the rewards of recent investments

After investing more than $500 M in Québec since 2015, Kruger continues to reduce the environmental footprint of its packaging products.

With the aim of positioning itself as North America’s most innovative containerboard products and corrugated packaging manufacturer, Kruger has invested heavily in its operations in recent years and continues efforts to boost productivity and reduce its operations’ carbon footprint, notably in the packaging sector. In addition to the $250 million invested in 2016-2017 in Trois-Rivières to convert a newsprint machine for the production of 100% recycled lightweight and high-strength linerboard, the Kruger Packaging Group has injected new funds into its LaSalle and Place Turcot facilities for various modernization projects to be completed this year at a total cost of nearly $20 million.
