Nexfor Inc. announced plans
to close its West Carrollton, Ohio mill early next month and consolidate
operation at its Park Falls, Wis., mill. The scheduled closing is expected to
be March 9.
The shutdown will remove
around 100,000 tons of production from the market.
The Park Falls facility has
an annual production capacity of 130,000 tons, and is highly integrated with a
sulfite pulp mill and deinking facility on-site.
Nexfor's Eastern pulp and
paper operations at Thurso, Quebec, Edmundston, NB and Madawaska, Maine are not
affected by the restructuring. These operations are focused on producing highly
specialized paper grades for publishers, high-volume printers and specialty
paper and packaging converters.
