The Newark Group to Close Yorktowne Mill

The Newark Group, Cranford, N.J., USA, will close its Yorktowne Paperboard mill, located in York, PA, and its Newark Graphicboard-BCI plant, located in Fitchburg, Mass. The company will also cease operations on one of the two paperboard machines at its Newark America mill, also located in Fitchburg.

The remaining paperboard machine at Newark America is being reconfigured to accommodate both graphic board production and other grades of uncoated recycled board. Each facility will continue to operate until business is transitioned to other Newark locations.
