Fibrek Inc. is temporarily shutting down its market pulp mill in Saint-Félicien starting on July 29, 2012 in order to carry out repairs on the electrostatic precipitator.

The shutdown is expected to last about one week.

This measure has been taken to avoid excessive particulate emissions into the atmosphere and attests to the commitment of Fibrek’s new management to improve the company’s environmental performance.

“We will spare no effort to ensure that Fibrek’s operations achieve the same environmental performance as those of Resolute Forest Products” said Richard Garneau, President and Chief Executive Officer of Fibrek and Resolute Forest Products Inc.
