UPM Raflatac to open slitting terminal Canada

UPM Raflatac, a global supplier of innovative and sustainable self-adhesive paper and film products, has confirmed it plans to open a new state-of-the-art slitting and distribution terminal in the Toronto to improve service and quality to its customers in Eastern Canada and Northeastern US, while strengthening relationships in the region.

The Toronto area terminal will house the latest equipment and a large warehousing space to enable storage of film and paper laminates, as well as specialty products.

By having a large inventory of products ready to be slit and shipped, UPM Raflatac can offer customers more flexibility, customization and efficiency in their orders.

This also reduces the risk of stock-outs, delays, and quality issues that may arise from insufficient warehousing capacity.

‘We have made significant investments in our production capabilities to meet the demand for self-adhesive paper and film products,’ said Morgan Dundas, sales director for UPM Raflatac Americas. ‘The recent decision to expand our global network of terminals with a brand-new facility in Canada is a testament to our long history of enabling our customers to grow.

‘UPM Raflatac’s ability to stock more material locally will optimize lead times, enhance service, and help meet the diverse and dynamic needs for our customers in Eastern Canada and Northeastern US.’

Construction on the new facility is underway. UPM Raflatac expects to begin production by late summer 2024.
