<b>SAPPI Closing Alabama Mill</b>

SAPPI announced plans to close its Mobile, Ala., paper mill by the end of the year. The mill produces both coated and uncoated paper. It has an annual capacity of 300,000 metric tons.

The mill was acquired by SAPPI through its purchase of SD Warren. The decision to shut the money-losing mill was made after energy costs rose following the closure of the pulp mill on site that provided energy to the plant.
