Kruger Extends Downtime at Wayagamack Paper Mill

Kruger will extend the downtime of PM 3 at its Wayagamack Mill in Trois-Rivieres, Quebec, Canada for a period of one month starting March 31.
Kruger said the decision to extend downtime is the result of low demand for directory paper from the ongoing weak market conditions. Recall the Coy Paper news releases outlined this paper machine was shut down on December 31, 2009 with a planned restart set for March 31.
Production is now planned to resume on May 1.
PM 3 has the capacity to produce about 74,000 metric tons per year of directory paper.
