Kingsey Falls, CANADA, Jun 28, 2012 – Cascades Inc. (TSX: CAS), a leader in recovery and in green packaging and tissue paper products, is pleased to announce that its Cascades Sonoco plant, in Birmingham, Alabama, won the 2012 Small Manufacturer of the Year Award, presented by The Business Council of Alabama and the Alabama Technology Network.
A joint venture between Cascades and Sonoco Products, Cascades Sonoco is North America's leading supplier of paper mill roll packaging products. The company specializes in paper-based packaging products used in a wide array of products, including food take-home boxes, bakery items, electronics, automotive parts, pet foods and fertilizers.

The Manufacturer of the Year Awards program recognizes Alabama manufacturing enterprises that exhibit excellence in leadership, performance, profitability and work force relations. Winning manufacturers are selected by an independent panel of judges who look for demonstrations of superior performance in the areas of customer focus, employee commitment, operational excellence, continuous improvement, profitable growth and investment in training and retraining.
Founded in 1964, Cascades produces, converts and markets packaging and tissue products that are composed mainly of recycled fibres. The Company employs more than 12,000 employees, who work in more than 100 units located in North America and Europe.
