MISSISSAUGA, Ontario (News release) -- Kruger Products Inc., a company in which KP Tissue Inc. holds an equity interest, announced that, after successfully starting-up its new tissue plant in Sherbrooke, Quebec, it is evaluating advancing the construction of its next tissue plant in response to increased market competition in the fast-growing ultra-premium segment. This proposed new plant would contain a state-of-the-art Through-Air-Dry paper machine along with three converting lines. The result of the evaluation is expected to be announced in early 2025.

This decision is being made in support of the Company's continued focus on growing its business, protecting market share, and continuing to offer high quality tissue products to customers across North America.
