Kruger Products Inc. has announced plans to build a state of the art tissue mill in the western United States, marking a major milestone in its North American growth strategy.
This move follows the company’s investment of more than $1 billion in Canada since 2018 to expand tissue capacity and support the continued growth of its business.
The new facility will feature advanced through air dry (TAD) technology and modern converting lines, enabling the company to meet surging demand for ultra premium tissue products in the U.S. market.
Scheduled to begin operations in 2028, the mill will deliver an annual production capacity of approximately 75,000 metric tonnes. Once operational, it will strengthen Kruger’s network alongside its Memphis plant and nine Canadian facilities, reinforcing the company’s leadership in premium tissue innovation.
The project will be financed through a mix of 40% equity and incentives, and 60% project finance debt, executed within an unrestricted subsidiary of Kruger Products. Location selection is in its final stages, with further details on site and scope to be announced soon.
This expansion comes as Kruger Products reports strong momentum. In the third quarter of 2025, revenue rose 7.7% to $561.1 million, while Adjusted EBITDA climbed 30.4% to $85.7 million. Gains in paper towel and facial tissue categories, along with robust Away From Home sales from brands such as Scotties and Cashmere, highlight the company’s resilience and market strength.
With a solid liquidity position of $388.6 million and a workforce of 3,000 employees across FSC certified facilities, Kruger Products is well positioned to deliver another year of strong results—anchored by its bold investment in the new U.S. tissue mill.
