Sappi to Acquire Potlatch Coated Paper Business

van As notes that a $525 million pulp mill with a design capacity of 450,000 short tons per year was commissioned in 2000 at the Cloquet location. Two paper machines and an off-line coater are also in operation there.

"This is one of the few machines in the U.S. that can produce European style, triple coated paper with minimal investment," van As says.
