Cascades Inc. Specialty products
As the name "converting" indicates, the plants in the Converting Sector convert certain raw pulp and paper materials into finished and semi-finished products. They do so by obtaining supplies of uncoated paperboard, for example, from their sister plants and converting them.
This sector underwent major expansion in 1995 following the integration of two new joint ventures: Cascades Enviropac Inc., which produces protective honeycomb type packaging, and Converdis Inc., which is specialized in packaging products and protective roll ends. For more information regarding Cascades Enviropac, go to http://www.cascades.com/enviropac.
These acquisitions have enabled Cascades to expand its range of products and consolidate its position as the leading North American producer of protective roll ends for use in the pulp and paper industry, and to become a major player in packing products on that same market.
Cascades Multi-Pro Inc., specializing in sheeting, is currently developing biodegradable forest and horticultural mulches, Cellu-Fib. These revolutionary products will prove to be an ecological alternative to phytocides, as a chemical-free means of weed control.
The mulches will be especially designed for reforestation, orchards, and landscaping.

The Converting Group at Cascades also includes Nu-Tec Inc., which manufactures high temperature hot plates. For more information regarding these products, go to http://www.cascades.com/nutec
Owing to their geographic location, the mills in Kingsey Falls, Drummondville, Berthierville (Québec), Tacoma (Washington), Birmingham (Alabama), Richmond (Virginia) and soon in Toronto (Ontario), serve the entire North American market quickly and efficiently.
Furthermore, we are presently working on the opening of another mill located in Saulcy-sur-Meurthe (France).
