PaperWorks to close Baie D’Urfe, Quebec manufacturing facility
The Baie D'Urfé facility has been in operation since 1979 and manufactures folding cartons for products including dry and frozen food, beverage, pharmaceutical, household goods, personal care and institutional foodservice.
The 165,000 square foot location employs 150 people.
“We considered many different options across our folding carton manufacturing footprint to improve service levels for our customers, strengthen our competitiveness and support long-term growth, said Kevin Kwilinski, president/CEO, PaperWorks.
“Ultimately, our decision was driven by the desire to position folding carton production closer to geographic areas in which the majority of our customers are located.”
Over the next several months, PaperWorks will work with customers serviced by the Baie D'Urfé facility to ensure a smooth transition to other company manufacturing facilities.
The remaining nine converting plants include two in Canada (Kitchener and Hamilton, Ont.) and seven in the US (Mt. Gilead and Greensboro, N.C.; Hastings, Neb.; Baldwinsville, N.Y., Kansas City, Mo.; Lenexa, Kan., and Alexandria, La.).
