Due to the "situation" created with a November 2013 recovery boiler explosion at its mill in Lincoln, Maine, USA, and the costs associated with the event, Lincoln Paper & Tissue reported in December that it has decided to indefinitely idle the pulp and paper mill portions of its facility. The company’s tissue mill business will continue to operate at full capacity, the company noted.
"Consequently, we will be downsizing to accomplish this change in operations. These are difficult decisions because they affect our hard working employees and the surrounding communities. However, they are necessary for the long term survival and success of our business," Lincoln stated.
