Corporate headquarters announced that they needed to work toward unloading the entire containerboard division. This means all brown paper mills and conversion plants.
As far as I know there has been no closure announcement. Just a for sale sign. It is a good running mill with the highest efficiency of all Weyco brown paper mills. It also has high cost per ton machines mostly because of thier size. I think its got a few good years left. The recovery and pulp mill are newer. Lets hope someone will buy that wants a new machine in Albany.
Also I understand that we are the only ones that make bag paper for Weyerhaeuser.
