The closed Gorham, NH paper was sold by Fraser Papers to an investment firm, Patriarch Partners, which, observing the high cost of production fueled by heating (No. 6) oil, installed a natural gas line. The Gorham Paper & Tissue mill was restarted 6 months ago, with the paper machines now powered by steam from the line. The company has now announced a commitment to purchase a tissue machine for $35 million that will be added to the facility.
