TC Transcontinental expects to use the net proceeds from this sale to further reduce its net debt. 

This is anticipated to enhance financial flexibility for strategic acquisitions aimed at growth. 

TC Transcontinental president and CEO Thomas Morin said: “Industrial packaging is a solid business. However, after operating it for several years, we concluded that it offers few synergies with the rest of our portfolio, and is not core to our Packaging Sector’s growth strategy. 

“We are pleased for our employees that Hood Packaging, a family-controlled company like TC Transcontinental whose industrial packaging business is core to their activities, is the buyer.”
