The shuttered NewPage newsprint and coated papers mill in Port Hawkesbury, N.S., Canada, has restarted, following final sale of the facilities to Vancouver-based Pacific West Commercial Corp. The newly restarted mill in Cape Breton has some 260 people working in different shifts, operating one of two paper machines. Port Hawkesbury Paper external affairs manager Marc Dube says the company plans to send the paper to customers soon.
The mill shut down last September, throwing some 600 people out of work and affecting another 400 forestry contractors. At the time, NewPage cited the high Canadian dollar and increased rates for shipping and electricity as the reasons for its closure.
