Nippon Restarts LWC Machine


The Nippon Paper Group  has restarted another machine at its Ishinomaki mill in Japan.
Ishinomaki is the last facility in the country still dealing with machine damage from the catastrophic tsunami and earthquake of March 2011. PM 6, a 272,000 tonne/yr lightweight coated (LWC) paper unit, started back up on March 9. PM 5, which can produce 150,000 tonnes/yr of LWC, came back online on February 22.
