Catalyst Paper restarted the second line of pulp production at its Crofton, B.C., NBSK mill in early May, taking advantage of a stronger market.

“We have adequate fibre supply and sales to support the additional volume which allows us to take advantage of the current uptick in pricing,” said Richard Garneau, president and CEO. “We’ll run as long as the economics are positive and will be keeping a very close watch on the order file and inventory levels.”

The restart of Crofton’s second line of production will add 165,000 tonnes of pulp capacity on an annualized basis. All Crofton pulp mill employees who are currently on layoff will be recalled.
