Cascades Inc. reported a third-quarter profit of $32 million, down from $49 million a year ago, as its sales edged higher.
Sales totalled $1.03 billion, up from $1.01 billion in the same quarter last year.
Cascades Chief Executive Mario Plourde says the company continued to see inflationary pressures on input costs, notably raw materials, but also in labour, transportation and energy, across its operations in the third quarter.
Cascades Containerboard Packaging has two plants in the Quinte region, one in Quinte West and one in Belleville.
