Logistic
An Extensive and Optimized Network
Cascades has many plants, customers and suppliers across North America. Even though we can count on the expertise of an internal logistics division, Cascades Transport, we also need other carriers to meet all of our needs. Our logistics department makes sure to optimize the various transports, supports all operations, centralizes calls for tenders and ensures that deadlines are met.
SmartWay
Cascades is now certified SmartWay! The SmartWay transport partnership is a governmental free and voluntary program that helps companies to progress in terms of sustainable mobility, by measuring, comparing and improving the efficiency of freight transport. This partnership recognizes companies that set up programs to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. Cascades also wishes to favor partnerships with carriers who share its values of respect for the environment.
