After 36 years in the forestry industry, including nearly five years at Fortress Paper, Yvon Pelletier will be retiring from the company effective Oct. 1, 2017. Chadwick Wasilenkoff will re-assume the role of CEO and president and continue to serve as chairman of the board. To facilitate a smooth transition of Pelletier’s duties and strong customer and government relationships, he has agreed to a two-year consulting agreement.
Pelletier said that "I would like to thank the whole team at Fortress for sharing these past five years of my career with me. With the addition of Giovanni Ladeluca to Thurso’s operations and Mr. Wasilenkoff’s full-time involvement, I am confident that I am leaving the company in good hands for the next stage of improvement and growth."
