Louisiana-Pacific Canada Ltd. will indefinitely close its hardwood bleached-chemi-thermo-mechanical pulp mill in Chetwynd, British Columbia.
The mill, closed since April due to prolonged weak market conditions, will remain down until a new owner can be found. The company will maintain, winterize and secure the mill, while actively continuing efforts to sell it.
The Chetwynd mill annually produces 160,000 air-dried metric tons of bleached-chemi-thermo-mechanical pulp.
