Sofidel announced the formal opening of its second greenfield plant in the United States, signaling a significant expansion by the company in response to consumer demand. The 1.8 million-square-foot production plant is fully operational in Inola, Okla., leveraging one of the United States’ most recently built paper manufacturing facilities, equipped with state-of-the art technology. The $360 million technologically and environmentally advanced plant is Sofidel’s second greenfield investment in the U.S.. An integrated facility, with its paper mill that transforms pulp into paper and the converting plant that makes the finished product, it can turn out 120,000 tons of tissue annually.
Cascades is moving forward with a $6 million expansion at its Eau Claire facility, a project expected to create 36 new jobs over the next two years and reinforce Wisconsin’s role as a key hub for the paper and tissue industry.
The project is supported by the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC), which has approved up to $200,000 in performance-based state income tax credits. The final value of the incentives will depend on the number of jobs created and the level of capital investment completed by the company.
Cascades’ investment centers on the installation of a state-of-the-art converting line, described as one of the most advanced in the company’s asset portfolio. The new equipment will enable the introduction of premium product lines, expand converting capacity and improve integration rates, strengthening the company’s market coverage in the region.
