St Mary's Paper will Shut Down Paper machine
St. Marys Paper will close PM 5 at its Sault Ste Marie, Ontario mill. The machine has a capacity to produce 130,000MTA of SC-A paper. The mill’s other machines, PM3 and PM4, have been closed since December.
I understand that the pricing for super calendar paper is increasing on April 1. Even with this increase, could not this mill keep the machine going? I would think the super calendar market would be doing well. I was reading in a past Coy Paper news release that publishers were reducing quality in an effort to save money. I assumed this meant more economical papers such as this one would grow in popularity. Any one have anything to say on this?

ReplyDeleteI thought the SuperCalender market was strong. Was this machine just so inefficient ?
