Newpage Confirms more Down Time

Consistent with our earlier Coy Paper release, NewPage will take 160,000 tons of market related downtime in the forth quarter. The #63 coated paper machine in Whiting, WI will be shuttered 'indefinitely' and #10 in Rumford. ME will be curtailed until market demand and production can be better balanced. NewPage, along with other USA coated paper producers have combined efforts with United Steelworkers to file an anti dumping duty case against China and Indonesia in violation of international trade rules.
