In order to achieve this, we’ve built a team of experts dedicated to the Ottawa-Cornwall-Kingston area. This asset allows us to offer solutions adapted to the customers in this territory. The addition of this new location also allows us to deploy cutting-edge eco-friendly solutions more widely to organizations that have the preservation of resources at the heart of their business strategy,” says Michel Bourassa, Carrousel Packaging’s CEO.
