KINGSEY FALLS, Quebec — Cascades and Société de gestion d’actifs forestiers Solifor announced a structuring partnership for the forestry sector in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region. Solifor has acquired Cascades’ private forest lands in Kamouraska and Témiscouata, representing 10,500 hectares of forests Cascades had managed for over 25 years. The agreement will allow development of these lands to continue and help secure the long-term supply of Cascades’ Cabano plant. The parties completed the $20 million transaction on March 31, 2026. …Hugues Simon, President and CEO of Cascades said, “We are pleased that Quebec interests will maintain the sustainable management of assets we had tapped little into, while opening up access to a greater supply through Solifor, which owns large parcels of forest land near our facility.”
