Temporarily Curtailing NBSK Pulp Production this Summer
Canfor Pulp Products Inc. announced June
28it will be implementing phased summer curtailments in July and August
at its Intercontinental and Northwood NBSK pulp mills in Prince George, British
Columbia (BC). This is due to a significant deterioration in market conditions,
in combination with fibre supply constraints and higher fibre costs resulting
from recent sawmill curtailments across the BC industry. The curtailments will
reduce Canfor Pulp's production output by approximately 75,000 tonnes of NBSK
pulp. The Company intends to resume full production at Intercontinental and
Northwood in September.
Canfor Pulp has three northern bleached softwood
kraft pulp mills, one BCTMP mill, and one kraft paper mill in BC.
