Kruger delivering tissue products to Canadian frontline healthcare workers

Kruger Products, one of Canada’s leading tissue products manufacturer, has launched a national #RollingItForward program to support the country’s frontline healthcare workers and citizens in need.

The company delivered the first in a series of much-needed care packages to frontline healthcare professionals at several hospitals across Montreal last week and will branch to Toronto and Vancouver “over the next few weeks.”

Kruger’s care packages include tissue products from their brands, Cashmere, Purex, SpongeTowels, and Scotties.
