This decision is directly tied to the Company’s decision in 2010 to deemphasise the sale of preforms as a product category and to focus its development, design and investment on growth in its core product line of plastic bottles.
The Pointe Claire site was primarily a preform manufacturing site and did not fit within the Company’s current and long-term market strategy.
Approximately 65 employees will be affected in the plant closure, while 30 new positions will be created at the Company’s other locations as equipment and work is transitioned to those sites.
