Newton Falls Mill Resumes Coated Paper Production

Newton Falls Fine Paper has begun paper production at the former St. Lawrence mill in Newton Falls, NY, which was previously owned by Belkorp Industries subsidiary Newstech.
PM 4 at the two-machine mill was restarted Sept. 7 and is making upwards of 80,000 tons/yr of 45 lb to 103 lb matte coated paper for book and commercial printing end uses such as catalogs and direct mail. A restart for PM 3 has yet to be slated.
The 150,000 tons/yr Newton Falls mill had been shuttered for seven years, but was so well maintained that it was making saleable paper within 36 hours of resuming operations.
