Pulp Moulded Products expands Ontario moulded-fibre packaging capacity
Pulp Moulded Products is investing CAD 3.643m (USD 2.56m) to add a new production line and an automated pressing cell at its Keswick, Ontario plant. The project is backed by a CAD 1.5m (USD 1.05m) contribution from FedDev Ontario's Tariff Response Initiative, announced 2 October 2026 as part of support for 31 Greater Toronto Area firms facing tariff pressure.
