DARTMOUTH, NOVA SCOTIA—  Maritime Paper Products unveiled a new $18.8 million printing press. It’s good timing given the significant trade turmoil and uncertainty swirling around the threat of tariffs on Canadian goods entering the United States. “It’s about becoming modern, finding new markets, and being competitive near and far and supporting our local markets here is what it’s all about, ” said Maritime Paper Products president and CEO Sheldon Gouthro. Maritime Paper operates four manufacturing facilities across Atlantic Canada and employs nearly 200 people at its Dartmouth facility. A corrugated packaging manufacturer has been in operation since 1931 and while they understand the present tariff threat, they have plans to deal with it. The new printing press represents the largest capital investment in the company’s history.
