Domtar is planning to idle its pulp mill in Dryden, Ontario for 10 weeks effective April 25th. This decision was taken in response to continued weak global demand for pulp and the need to manage inventory levels.
Additionally, Domtar will idle its Ear Falls, Ontario sawmill for approximately 7 weeks, effective April 10, 2009. North American lumber market conditions require that this temporary curtailment be taken at this time.
Approximately 500 people employed at the pulp mill, sawmill and related forestland operations will be affected by the temporary closures.
The Dryden mill has an annual softwood pulp production capacity of 319,000 air dry metric tons. The Ear Falls sawmill has an annual production capacity of 190 million board feet of dimensional lumber.
