Cascades hardly needs an introduction. Founded in 1964 by Bernard, Laurent and Alain Lemaire, the company is managed today by Mario Plourde, a visionary leader occupying the position of president and CEO.  

Cascades is an undisputed reference in the fields of packaging, hygiene and recovery. It brings together a team of 10,000 highly talented and qualified individuals who collaborate within a network of nearly 80 operating units spread across North America, including a manufacturing plant located in Candiac. And it is in this facility that all the company's verified products are manufactured.  

Cascades' mission is clear: to contribute to the well-being of people, communities and the planet through sustainable, innovative and value-driven solutions. Cascades continuously pushes the limits in order to play an essential role in the success of their clients.  

To achieve these objectives, Cascades relies on fundamental values. It respects nature, constantly seeking to minimize its environmental impact. The company values the strength of their union and team, and knows that we are better all together. It also encourages a culture of honesty and transparency, favouring truth-telling to establish trust and open communication between all members of the organization and with its customers.  

Cascades is the perfect example of a forward-thinking company that continues to pave the way for a better future for all.  

Cascades in the spotlight  

Unsurprisingly, Cascades is a highly decorated company. It should be highlighted in particular that in 2017, it won the 25th Canadian Grand Prix New Product Awards rewarding innovative products thanks to the launch of the Cascades Fluff & Tuff® brand. In 2022, the brand was among the finalists in this same category, with its new packaging made of 100% recycled plastic.  

Cascades and Les Produits du Québec  

Even if the company shines on a North American scale, it recognizes the importance of promoting Quebec purchases. "As a local company with strong roots in Quebec, Cascades proudly adheres to the Les Produits du Québec certification marks. It is essential for us to promote innovation and the strengths of local companies.", emphasizes the company.  

The company has been a Les Produits du Québec program member since August 2022, while Cascades Fluff & Tuff® toilet paper and kitchen paper have obtained the Manufactured in Quebec certification mark.
