Catalyst Paper is intensifying its focus on manufacturing consistency and efficiency, and has appointed Brian Johnston vice-president, technical services. Johnston has been with Catalyst Paper since 1994, most recently serving as vice-president operations.

“Brian’s experience and knowledge of all our operating assets and technologies will enable the business to ensure appropriate procedures, processes, and resources are fully deployed in each mill and functioning at a level that delivers maximum productivity and reliability,” said Catalyst president and CEO Kevin J. Clarke. “His technical expertise will also be instrumental in the efficient deployment of major capital projects such as the federally funded boiler upgrade at Powell River.”

Johnston brings more than 25 years of coast-to-coast mill experience to his new role.  Pending completion of the search for a new head of manufacturing, mill operations will report to the president.

Catalyst Paper manufactures diverse specialty printing papers, newsprint and pulp.
