Since 1998, Mohawk has lead the market with innovative substrates for digital printing. Starting with legendary fine paper and carefully expanding into specialized non-paper substrates, Mohawk is celebrating 20 years of product innovation. At this year’s DSCOOP gathering in Dallas, Mohawk will introduce a number of new products engineered for HP Indigo as well as wide format printing. Mike Madura, VP of Product Management and Development says, “We wanted to arrive at DSCOOP ready to demonstrate these new paper and specialty materials in a manner that would echo the conference focus on Inspiration. Anyone who knows us knows that we are always looking for new ways to inspire designers and printers with the power of materials through provocative demonstration.”

In the near future, certain uncoated groundwood paper products imported into the United States from Canada may be subjected to U.S. countervailing (CVD) and/or anti-dumping (AD) duties. These duties arise from petitions made by North Pacific Paper Company (NORPAC), a U.S.-based pulp and paper manufacturer, to the U.S. Department of Commerce and the U.S. International Trade Commission that allege Canada’s UGW paper exports are unfairly priced and/or that Canadian federal and provincial governments subsidize domestic producers – including Catalyst – thereby placing U.S. manufacturers of uncoated groundwood paper at an unfair disadvantage. I am writing to advise that Catalyst intends to implement price surcharges on our uncoated groundwood paper products we import into the USA that are subject to these CVD and AD duties. These surcharges will directly mirror the charges imposed on Catalyst by the U.S. Government. We will inform you of the level of Surcharge as soon as it becomes available.

The tissue production group is expanding its US presence through an integrated plant (paper mill and converting) in Inola with an output of 120,000 metric tons a year, a total investment of 360 million dollars within 2020. Sofidel's first greenfield investment in the US, in Circleville, Ohio, will instead be completed by the end of 2018. Sofidel, one of the global largest tissue (paper for hygienic and domestic use) production players, today announces a major new stage in its journey of international growth, initiating a new greenfield investment in the United States to build an integrated plant - i.e. including both the paper mill and converting lines - in Inola, Oklahoma, around 30 miles east of Tulsa.
