Catalyst Paper Corp., Richmond, B.C., Canada, this week reported that, due to operating issues that have been fully resolved, its Crofton mill, located on Southern Vancouver Island near Duncan, has incurred production losses of approximately 8,600 metric tons of pulp and 8,600 metric tons of paper during the month of June. These production losses will not impact current customer orders but will reduce second quarter EBITDA approximately $5 -$6 million. No health or environmental issues occurred during this period, and the mill has returned to production capacity, according to Catalyst.

Its customers include retailers, publishers, and commercial printers in North America, Latin America, the Pacific Rim, and Europe.
