The Seventies:
The beginning of a great adventure |
| In 1971, Cascades began its expansion in Kingsey Falls with the creation of Cascades Forma-Pak, its first moulded-pulp mill to use 100% recycled fibres. The event marked the beginning of a veritable paper-making corporation in a small town in the center of Québec from 1972 to 1977: the successive start-up of Papier Kingsey Falls (multi-layer board), Cascades Industries (tissue paper), Plastiques Cascades and Cascades Conversion. In 1976, the Lemaire brothers "brought their skill and knowledge" outside Kingsey Falls for the first time with the start-up of the containerboard mill Papier Cascades in Cabano (Québec). This was the beginning of a great adventure that would bring Cascades all over the world.
