Cascades Announces Expansion Plan For Isothermal Packaging Technology Kingsey Falls. Quebec, Canada based Cascades continues to roll out its expansion plan in the isothermal packaging market by enhancing its line of meal boxes with technolo- gy that’s 20 percent more efficient than its current home delivery solution, and by commissioning a new production facility in York, Pennsylvania. The company is improving its line of northbox® isother- mal packaging solutions by adding innovative technology: northbox® XTEND™. The composition of this meal box cre- ates a moisture barrier that helps keep the insulation rigid. The packaging keeps food fresh during long transit times and in regions with higher temperatures, and requires less ice. Designed with the circular economy in mind, this pack- aging solution is made of recycled cardboard and was de- termined to be recyclable by an external laboratory and prequalified by How2Recycle. The northbox® XTEND™ is a new addition to the comprehensive and customizable northbox® line, optimized to deliver operational gains to customers. The company is also commissioning a new production site for its northbox® product line: Cascades Enviropac – York. This is the second facility in four months to be opened to support Cascades’ growth in the isothermal packaging solutions market. After commissioning its inaugural site in the West of the United States, in Tacoma, Cascades is now expanding its presence in the East, getting closer to its customers and strengthening its position as a strategic partner throughout North America. The first phase of this expansion includes the installation of a state-of-the-art, highly automated packaging line for the production of its isothermal boxes, including the new northbox® XTEND™. “We’re pleased to innovate with our customers to offer them a variety of high-performance and adaptable isother- mal packaging solutions,” said Luc Langevin, President and Chief Operating Officer of Cascades Specialty Prod- ucts Group. “Since 2007, our recycled cardboard meal boxes have been perfected to meet operational and envi- ronmental challenges. Our expansion plan in the market is rolling out as anticipated, reinforcing our role as a strategic partner that works in close proximity with customers.” FTA Names Kyle Baldwin Director Of Marketing & Communications The Flexographic Technical Association (FTA) has an- nounced that Kyle Baldwin has joined the Association as its new director of marketing and communications.
