Resolute Forest Products Extends Fort Frances Shutdown

Late last month, Resolute Forest Products announced it would close its two uncoated mechanical paper machines at its Fort Frances mill in Ontario for the rest of the year.  Yesterday, the company extended the shutdown to the end of January or “when market conditions improve.”  In addition to closing the ~244,000 short tons per year paper machines, the company reported that it is also now closing its kraft mill at the facility as well.
