Reconstruction of the former Sonoco paper mill north of Trenton is well underway and sometime in the new year a GTA based company will begin manufacturing plastic fencing there.
The company moving in is All Season Fencing and they’ll hire 30 to 40 employees at first but have plans to expand production over time.
Mayor of Quinte West Jim Harrison.
“It’s a plus-plus for all of us because they’re going to resurrect that facility, make it into something, obviously not a paper mill but something different and manufacture from all recycled plastic, a new plastic product that’s available.”
Harrison says All Season Fencing’s owners liked what the Quinte region had to offer, especially its quality of life.
