Canfor Pulp Announces Production Curtailment at Taylor Pulp

Canfor Pulp Products Inc. (TSX:CFX) is announcing a minimum six-week curtailment of BCTMP production at Taylor Pulp in response to significant transportation shortages that have resulted in inventories at the pulp mill reaching capacity.

“Taylor Pulp has been dealing with ongoing transportation challenges that have significantly impacted the facility’s ability to ship product,” said Don Kayne, Chief Executive Officer, Canfor Pulp. “We regret the impact the curtailment will have on our employees, their families and the community.”

Already facing increasing fibre costs due to the constrained fibre supply in the region and a weaker longerterm outlook for BCTMP markets, the current logistical issues have created a very challenging business environment for Taylor Pulp. During the curtailment, Canfor Pulp will continue to monitor the supply chain constraints and assess opportunities to improve the operating economics of the mill.

The curtailment will reduce the production of BCTMP by at least 25,000 tonnes.

Water repellent WISA-SpruceWR facilitates construction in varying humidity conditions

UPM Plywood introduces a new water repellent WISA-SpruceWR plywood that enables efficient and effortless construction even in changing weather and humidity conditions. The water repellent yet breathable surface of WISA-SpruceWR slows down the absorption of moisture into the panel while allowing it to evaporate. Thanks to the wood-based treatment agent, WISA-SpruceWR is a genuinely sustainable and safe choice made from renewable raw materials. Designed for structural uses, WISA-SpruceWR provides significant benefits especially for developers and builders. WISA-SpruceWR is available in four common thicknesses (12–21 mm), in both straight-edged and easy-to-install tongue-and-groove options. Made entirely of spruce, WISA-SpruceWR’s technical properties are the same as those of regular WISA-Spruce plywood: the panel’s strength and light weight make it ideal for all kinds of frame construction, such as walls and floors.
