Domtar announces permanent closure of one PM at its Kamloops mill

According to Paper Age, Domtar has announced that it will permanently shut down one pulp machine at its Kamloops, British Columbia (Canada) facility, which will result in a permanent curtailment of Domtar's annual pulp production by approximately 120,000 air-dried metric tons of sawdust softwood pulp.

The pulp machine, known at the mill as the "A-Line" is expected to be closed by the end of March 2013. About 125 employees will be affected by the decision.
