Uniforet announced that the downtime in production at its Port-Cartier pulp mill started on February 16 is extended again until June 4, 2001. This measure is seen as necessary because of the weak conditions that persist on the pulp world market.
The extended suspension of production will further reduce the mill's output by roughly 36,100 metric tons. Altogether, the suspension will cut production by 61,900 metric tons, or 30.9% of the mill's estimated pulp output for 2001.
