Kruger recently announced that it will stop production on the No. 1 Paper Machine and deinked pulp plant operations at its Brompton Newsprint Mill for an indefinite period, effective November 14, 2014.
"This decision, which is intended to rebalance the order book and improve the Mill's competitive position, will affect some 98 employees and reduce its annual newsprint production by 100,000 tonnes," the company said in a news release.
The Brompton mill is located in Sherbrooke, Québec, Canada, and has three paper machines that produce high-quality newsprint from thermo-mechanical and recycled pulp.
The paper mill's capacity is 305,000 tonnes per year.
