Kruger to Curtail Directory Paper Production at Wayagamack Mill

Kruger, Montreal, Que., Canada, this past week announced it will "interrupt production" on paper machine No. 3 at its Wayagamack Mill in Trois-Rivières, Que., for a period of two months starting December 23. The company said it came to this decision because of the high value of the Canadian dollar and the weak demand for directory paper. The temporary curtailment will affect approximately 100 employees. The Mill plans to restart No. 3 machine on February 23. Kruger operates facilities in Quebec, Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia, Newfoundland, and Labrador, in the U.S., and the U.K. It has 9,000 employees.
