Cascades will continue to use the facility until the end of this year, when the plant is scheduled to close, under the arrangement.

"The reorganisation of our activities in the region will be done gradually to ensure a smooth transition for our customers."

Cascades previously revealed its decision to shut down the Maspeth packaging plant in August last year due to the perceived physical limitations of the site.

The decision was taken in line with the company’s on-going modernisation programme, as well as its efforts to optimise operations across the Northeastern US.

Cascades Containerboard Packaging president and chief operating officer Charles Malo said: “The reorganisation of our activities in the region will be done gradually to ensure a smooth transition for our customers, thus continuing to reinforce our commitment and ability to act as a preferred partner in their ongoing development.”
