On February 26^th, we celebrated the successful installation and commissioning of Maritime Paper Dartmouth’s newest advanced automated printing equipment, the Mitsubishi EVOL 4-Color Flexo Folder Gluer.

This project represents the largest capital investment, of $18.8 million, in the history of Maritime Paper. The installation was made possible through significant support from both the Maritime Paper Products GP Limited Board of Directors and Scotia Investments’ Board of Directors. Additionally, this project would not have been possible without the $3.7 million business development incentive received from Invest Nova Scotia and a $3 million repayable contribution from the Government of Canada, through the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA).

The new printing press replaces aging equipment with a single advanced-technology corrugated converting machine for the various corrugated packaging products manufactured by the company at its Dartmouth facility.  

“For nearly a century, Maritime Paper has been a true Atlantic Canadian success story, thriving by investing in both its business and our communities. Our government is committed to supporting companies that choose Canada—those that grow, innovate, and create good jobs for Canadians today and for generations to come,” said the Honourable Darren Fisher, Minister of Veterans Affairs and Associate Minister of National Defence and Member of Parliament for Dartmouth – Cole Harbour, on behalf of the Honourable Gudie Hutchings, Minister of Rural Economic Development and Minister responsible for the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency

“The Nova Scotia government is continuing to support businesses in their immediate needs and long-term opportunities. Through supporting private sector capital investments such as this advanced equipment installation, we help Maritime Paper Products improve its business, which benefits the companies it serves as well as the broader Nova Scotia economy,” said John A. MacDonald, Ministerial Assistant for Colton LeBlanc, Minister of Growth and Development

Special guests included the Honourable Darren Fisher, John A. MacDonald, our Board of Directors and family shareholders, leaders from our family of companies, Maritime Paper staff, customers, partners, suppliers, and supporters.
