Domtar Reduces Capacity

MONTREAL—Domtar will close its Port Edwards, WI, mill and reorganize production at its Dryden, Ontario, facility. The Port Edwards move, which is expected to take place in the second quarter of this year, will cost 500 employees their jobs. At Dryden, one paper machine and two sheeters will be closed, impacting 125 jobs there. These moves will permanently trim annual production capacity of uncoated freesheet paper by 342,000 pounds.
