CANADA – Tafisa Canada, a leading particleboard and decorative panel manufacturer, confirmed a total of USD 48 million in investments in its facilities in Lac-Mégantic, Canada.

After a USD 22 million investment, Tafisa officially inaugurated its new 6,500 sqm plant and announced new investments of USD 26 million to expand its main plant.

Tafisa started production in its new 6,500 sqm  plant dedicated to the manufacture of a collection of lacquered panels called Lummia.
