Resolute Indefinitely Idling Its Groundwood Paper Machine at Ontario Facility

Approximately 239 employees will be impacted by the idling.

“The markets for these products are challenging and are expected to remain so,” said Resolute President and CEO Richard Garneau.

The idling of paper machine is driven by the decrease in consumption, as well as the high value of the Canadian dollar. “We will monitor market conditions closely and work with key stakeholders to explore ways to improve the mill’s cost position,” noted Garneau.
