Domtar Reduces Paper Capacity and Adds to Pulp Production

Domtar will shut down its Plymonth, NC paper making operations and transition the equipment to Fluff Pulp. The company will invest almost $75million to accomplish this and effectively increase capacity of their Fluff Pulp by three times current output to 444,000TPA. This project will be completed by 4Q2010.
After Domtar ceases to produce paper in Plymonth, they will have reduced capacity of uncoated business papers by 200,000TPA.

Typical of the industry, my guess is in the not too distant future, we will have an over supply of pulp and not enough paper!
