Scott Paper Ltd. has an expansion at its KTG LP mill in Memphis, Tenn. The mill produces tissue for residential consumer use. Kruger had acquired this mill, which was idle at the time, in 2002 and created KTG whose business activities were integrated with those of Scott Paper Ltd.
"In undertaking these two major projects, our main priority is to increase customer satisfaction with our service, as well as with the availability and quality of our products," said Mario Gosselin, COO for Scott Paper. The first investment amounts to $10 million and will be used to speed up two machines already in operation at the mill. These speed-ups will increase the production capacity of the mill by 10,000 tons in the first quarter of 2006.
"Preliminary engineering is also underway to rebuild an idle paper machine," Gosselin added. The second project will add 37,000 tons of capacity in 2007.
KTG is a subsidiary of Scott Paper, which is a member of the Kruger Co.
