Nippon Paper to Soon Restart Earthquake Damaged Ishinomaki Mill

Nippon Paper Industries, Japan, reported this week that it has been restoring its Ishinomaki Mill (Ishinomaki, Miyagi) that was damaged in the Tohoku-Pacific Ocean Earthquake, and announced that its reopening is imminent. After restoring the privately owned electrical power facility, which provides power to the mill, by August, Nippon will restart production of printing and publication paper by the end of September.

The company says it is planning to fully restore the major paper machines this year. "Moreover, while determining the supply and demand balance going forward, we will be studying the production system to maximize profits. The associated plan will be announced as soon as it takes concrete form," the company noted.
