Georgia-Pacific to close mill in Augusta

Georgia-Pacific has announced that the formerly known Augusta Select Tissue mill in Augusta, Canada, would be closing, reports WRBC.

The company pinned the mill’s closure on increased competition in the industry and improved performance of other facilities. Some of the equipment will be moved to other units, while other will be sold for scrap. The property will also eventually be sold, according to the company.

“We know this is a difficult time for the employees at the Augusta mill and their families,” said Rob Shaw, vice president of manufacturing who has oversight for the Augusta tissue facility. “This decision is not a reflection on their efforts to operate safely and productively. Our commitment is to work with employees to find ways to minimize the difficulty as best we can. That includes working with state and local employment agencies that can also support these employees.”

Koehler Invests More than 91 Million Euros

Koehler Group publishes figures for 2020 financial year: Despite the worldwide impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and the fall of total sales for German paper industry, the Koehler Group managed to perform relatively well in its market and maintained its competitive edge and invested more than 91 Million Euros during 2020. In the 2020 financial year, Koehler Group’s revenue fell by 11.7% to 769 million euros. The operating result of 66 million euros is significantly lower than the previous year’s figure and therefore significantly below target. Koehler Paper saw its sales volume fall by 1.5%, with the decrease essentially due to the decline caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. Koehler Group’s equity grew by 29 million to 590 million euros during the previous financial year. The equity ratio therefore equals 57.2%, with a decrease in the balance sheet total, and has clearly exceeded the long-term objective of more than 40%.
