Sappi Europe to temporary idle PM7 at Lanaken paper mill

Sappi will suspend production on one paper machine at the Lanaken coated woodfree and magazine paper mill in order to adapt output to falling demand, Euwid reports.

According to Sappi, production on coated fine paper machine PM 7 will be temporarily stopped in reaction to the current lower demand for graphic papers caused by the effects of Covid-19.  

The group’s other 10 facilities remain operational with high attention being paid to the health and safety of the group’s employees and communities around the sites, a company spokesperson told Euwid.
