Cascades Fluff & Tuff (TM) wins the Tissue – Innovation Award at the 9th edition of the Pulp & Paper International Awards

Cascades Inc. (TSX: CAS), a leader in the recovery and manufacturing of green packaging and tissue products, is pleased to announce that it received the Tissue – Innovation Award for its Cascades Fluff & Tuff™ brand at the 9  th  edition of the Pulp & Paper International Awards, which took place in  Brussels  on  November 29  .

This annual international event is organized by RISI, the leading information provider for the pulp and paper industry. According to the organization, the Tissue – Innovation category was created to “highlight some of the incredibly imaginative work carried out by tissue producers to keep an increasingly demanding consumer happy.” To claim a spot among the five other finalists, the Consumer Products marketing team demonstrated the innovative nature of the new Cascades Fluff & Tuff  TM  brand, its strong market presence and consumer satisfaction levels.

Cascades Tissue Group launched the national brand on  March 14, 2017  . “We launched a line of toilet paper and paper towels that is among the softest and strongest on the market, while maintaining all of the green properties our products are known for. Our objective was simple, to offer consumers the comfort and performance they’re looking for in a product, while also protecting the environment. We wanted our new and improved products to become the brand of choice for more and more families across the country, and we are achieving this goal. Convincing the industry of the innovative value of products and winning over consumers in a matter of months was a considerable but worthwhile challenge,” said  Jean Jobin  , President and Chief Operating Officer of Cascades Tissue Group.

This strong market presence was made possible by our diligent development and marketing efforts. “Our teams worked closely together for over two years reviewing each step in the manufacturing process in order to provide the superior quality that Cascades Fluff™ and Cascades Tuff™ products deliver. No detail was ignored to improve the products for the families, beginning with the manufacturing formula for the paper all the way through to its embossing and packaging. This award definitely brings value to everything that we’ve accomplished,” said  Thierry Trudel  , Vice-President, Marketing and Innovation at Cascades Tissue Group.

The Cascades Fluff & Tuff™ brand is produced by the Cascades Tissue Group division, a leader in the Canadian and U.S. tissue paper industry. Cascades Fluff & Tuff™ is primarily sold through its distribution network in  Quebec  and  Canada  .

Strikes started at most UPM mills in Finland – businesses still seeking to start negotiations with the Paperworkers’ Union

Members of the Paperworkers’ Union, the Finnish Electrical Workers´ Union and the Trade Union Pro have this morning (1-Jan-2022) started strikes at UPM mills in Jämsänkoski, Kouvola, Lappeenranta, Pietarsaari, Rauma, Tampere and Valkeakoski. According to the unions, the strikes will continue until 6 o’clock on 22 January 2022 unless a new collective labour agreement is reached before that. The Paperworkers’ Union has not excluded any work from the strike, not even tasks critical to the society, such as operating and maintenance of water treatment and power plants. UPM businesses falling under the strikes are UPM Pulp, UPM Biofuels, UPM Communication Papers, UPM Specialty Papers and UPM Raflatac. The strikes do not concern UPM Plywood and UPM Timber, both of which signed business specific collective agreements with the Industrial Union in December. Furthermore, UPM Energy operates as usual, as it complies with the generally applied collective agreements of the energy industry.
