Domtar's Dryden mill has received $2 million from the Canadian federal government. The investment is aimed to develop and commercialize new premium grades of pulp.
Minister of Natural Resources Greg Rickford explains, as quoted by KenoraOnline:
"This is a significant investment for Domtar and the next step. The next important piece -- and this is where the forest sector is as a whole -- is to invest in -- particularly in pulp -- new fibre opportunities. Commercializing, and diversification of new fibre mixes so that new products can be made.”
Rickford underlined the importance of keeping Canadian idea in Canada.
As a result of the investment Domtar will launch a first-of-its-kind, commercial-scale manufacturing facility for the new grades of pulp.
