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.

Why this mattersAdds North American capacity for recycled moulded-fibre packaging as brand owners seek alternatives to single-use plastic, with public funding cushioning tariff-related cost pressure.

  • 2026-10-07 · Edited before publication: CAD conversions for the 2026 project are correct (3.643m/1.425 = USD 2.56m; 1.5m/1.425 = USD 1.05m), but the 2024 CAD 1.3m investment was left unconverted, a style failure. Key facts corrected.
