Domtar Corporation will indefinitely idle operations at its Grenada, Miss., paper mill in September, ending more than three decades of production and impacting over 160 employees.
Domtar, a leading North American manufacturer of diversified forest products, which purchased Resolute Forest Products in March 2023, announced the decision to its employees Wednesday morning, citing current newsprint market conditions.
According to officials, the move is part of Domtar's ongoing efforts to adapt its operations with current business conditions.
Domtar employs 181 people in Grenada. The facility was built in 1989, and Domtar says it has an annual economic impact of $316 million dollars.
