Fraser Papers Inc. says it is curtailing production at its paper mill in Gorham, N.H. "for an indefinite period" laying off 167 staff and 109,000 tons of paper production due to rising input costs, "particularly oil and market pulp."
The mill is curtailing production of commodity freesheet paper grades on two paper machines starting April 13. Production on another machine at the mill was suspended late in 2007, as reported by Paper.com. The company said it expects to continue operating two of the five paper machines in Gorham that produce specialty printing papers, namely principally light-weight opaque papers, and industrial towel.
