One of the largest producers of paper for magazines, books and high-end advertising, Sappi, North America, will permanently close the Muskegon, Mich., paper mill. I reported in March that this mill will be idled for an undetermined amount of time. This coated fine paper mill had an annual production capacity of 170,000 TPA.
The global economic downturn and reduction in demand of 32% this year has resulted in very weak demand for coated fine paper worldwide.
Products previously made at Muskegon have been and will continue to be produced at the other Sappi mills in Skowhegan, Maine, and Cloquet, Minn.
