Kruger Products (KPLP) has announced its plan for a capital investment of $575 million in the Brompton area of Sherbrooke, QC, to build a new, state-of-the-art tissue plant featuring Canada’s largest and most modern TAD paper machine along with related converting equipment and infrastructure (the TAD2 Project).

The TAD2 Project is projected to produce at maturity approximately 70,000 metric tonnes per annum of bathroom tissue and paper towels which will enable KPLP to increase its offering of ultra-premium and innovative tissue projects under the Cashmere, Sponge Towels and Purex brands and also enable expansion in the U.S. private label business.

Construction of the new site is expected to begin in the spring of 2019 and commence production in early 2021.
