Catalyst cuts back production at Powell River mill

A fibre shortage has left Catalyst Paper Corporation with no options but to curtail production on paper machine 11 at its Powell River mill. Unable to acquire enough fibre from its regular source in the Okanagan, the company announced on Thursday, April 5, that it will not make paper from paper machine 11 for three weeks, from Monday, April 16, to Monday, May 7. The primary driver for Catalyst’s production cutback is the shortage of fibre, making it uneconomical to run paper machine 10 and paper machine 11, according to Kissack. But, he said recent United States Department of Commerce anti-dumping duties also led to the production cut. Click Read More below for additional information.
